WEMBLEY 2012: Di Canio silences pre-season doubters
           


  THERE have probably not been too many managerial appointments that split opinion as much Paolo Di Canio’s did at Swindon back in May.

"Swindon Town’s tea man Curly Withers – who has worked in the background at the County Ground for over three decades, will travel with Di Canio to Wembley and also sit on the bench with his technical staff.

“Curly will come with us,” said Di Canio. “He will sit behind the bench with us. It is a day for us all to celebrate together and he deserves the experience."

Quality. What a nice thought.

There was a video I saw somewhere of the team leaving the pitch and coming down the tunnel. As they walked down the tunnel, an old boy, who I believe is Curly Withers, gets a handshake off all the players on the way in. He seems very much liked by the whole squad. Nice touch.
