Over the years West Ham United have had some fantastic mavericks. The likes of Dimitri Part and Marko Arnautovic in recent years are amazing players with bags of talent who have left the club on bad terms, although the ultimate maverick for the club is one who didn’t leave on bad terms and is still loved by the fans.

That man, of course, is the fantastic Italian Paulo Di Canio. The former West Ham man was truly one of the best to ever play the game for the Hammers, and certainly one of the best to do so in the Premier League.
West Ham fan account COYIrons has tweeted a video of the Italian when he was in his pomp for the club and the fans have been left in awe of their former hero once again, with many of them flocking in the replies to show their adoration of the now 51-year-old ex-player.
Is Paulo Di Canio our best ever player from the Premier League era?
Yes!
No!
You can read the Irons’ verdict on Di Canio here:
Will we ever see a player of such quality at West Ham ever again.

I lived this guy so much. My favourite player of all time. He could do anything from nothing at any point of a game and in spectacular fashion too

The Hammers absolutely adore Di Canio and will be eagerly awaiting another man to come in and do similar things to what the Italian once did.
