Not only did this story happen exactly as Harry said it, Di Canio also gave mouth to mouth resuscitation to John Terry, headbutted Materazzzi and also scored in injury time to keep Carlisle United up
Di Canio, just a brilliant football player. Enjoyed watching him play. Watched him play for Napoli once against a great AC Milan side, he won the game on his own. LFC fan
harry is as west ham as pie and mash, i would have him back anyday, and as for di-canio the man had more passion for the club than most of our squad have now, noble sears and collison appart
mate i absolutely loved freddie sears when he came through for us, shame he never really made it in the prem... but he'll always be remembered for that "ghost goal" for Palace against Bristol City
Di Canio was a genuis.....only one of two opposing players that I have seen get a standing ovation at The Bridge for scoring agaisnt us....an absolute peach for West Ham, when he took it on the thigh wide right and lashed in a volley from 25 yards (the other bloke was Ronaldinho for Barca). I recall he once scored a vital pen for Celtic and promptly got sent off for over celbrating as it was his second yellow..and as for the Ref at Sheff Wed 8-)...would have loved to see him on a Chelsea shirt!
It's a shame that the penalty is literally in the recommended videos to watch after this video, because that penalty makes the game 4-3 to Bradford, the keeper goes the right way and Di Canio puts it in the left corner. So basically everything 'Arry says is utter bollocks.
@SumoCumLoudly he was never, ever a dull player, I'm a rangers fan btw, i also don't think he was dull at Sheffield wed before West ham, no idea where u get that from unless maybe u never actually seen Di canio at the time, he wasn't dull at lazio either, u know nothing and when u have me, a rangers fan since 1985 sticking up for an ex celtic player, u know ur very wrong
It's great to hear what the players really thought of di Canio's bizarre catching of the ball and the subsequent media "hero" mythologising of the event. I always suspected that the players felt, as I did at the time, that it was a crazy thing to do (and tbh I still half suspect that he thought he couldn't actually score as the cross was too high anyway). "I'll kill him!" fumes Stuart Pearce - but he gets an award... priceless! Bet 'Arry makes a bomb doing apres-dinner speaking gigs.
@warpfield98 I remember in his book he spoke quite well of his Celtic manager too. You're right though - Harry took a what was seen as risk, I think that brought the best out of Paolo. Great character.
In fairness, he doesn't get the story too wrong. He messes up the order of the goals and he may have been thinking of a different penalty, but in general, he gets it pretty much right.
Slightly hazy recollection from Redknapp there - Di Canio crossed for Lampard to score from just outside the box for the 4-3 goal. The penalty was not buried into the bottom left corner of the goal (keeper nearly got to it). Seems Redknapp is as liberal with his stories as he is with his tax returns...
has any one got Harry playing his debut for West ham back in the late sixties, if you haveit please post , he would have been on Star Soccer as an 18 year old . Peter Lorenzo was commentating ..
Little bit of poetic licence there from Harry. You can find a video of the highlights of the match on youtube, lampard scores the winner and di canio's penalty was west hams third. Incidentally he hammers the ball into the bottom corner. Also there are no goals scored by di canio where he goes past 4 players. Still, it's a funny story and I salute Harry for it. In a way the internet ruins good story telling like that. there is always some gimp like me ready to check the facts. Food for thought.
@Vooderino i was at the game, di canio scored one goal and did argue with lampard about the penalty but not as much as harry says and the penalty was the game winner because Joe Cole scored that, he did sit down in the middle of the pitch and basically asked to be substituted. Dean Saunders did hit the post at 4-2 but paolo wasnt sitting down at the time. So it was sort of true but Harry has embellished the story somewhat but that's what Harry does
It sound like he told this story 200 times and every time he adds a bit to make it better till he gave it a new script, this is what you call Based on a true story, real names been used with plenty of special effect, anything for a bit of fun love it
Guys, can't we accept that, irrespective of the details-it was a funny story! Yeah, there are massive inaccuracies in Harry's tale-but he tells it so well!
Harry's comments are too funny. Makes out that Dicanio's reactions when he wanted to come off from penalty appeals, reminds me of my cousin in a tantrum when he cant have something like a bag of sweets
Third goal was a penalty and Di-Canio did argue with Lampard and he eventually took it and totally tricked the keeper. Harry Redknapp may have exaggerated the sulking part but Di Canio did went 'offline' demanding to be substituted after the 3 fouls on him in the box with no penalty given. Go watch the replay..geez.
It doesn't matter that Harry might exaggerate his stories, and also embellish them. What a fun geezer to be around, and as someone has already said, how much fun would a night out with him in a boozer be? It was an absolute scandal that he got passed over for the England job for nice, safe, boring Woy. I'm sure the players would have played a more expansive game under Harry.
Strange that Redknapp got the story as wrong as he did. I mean, he's either exaggerating for effect or he has a very poor memory. The description of the penalty was strange as he certainly did not chip the ball and it wasn't the winning goal. It was the 3rd of 5. Even more bizarre considering it was his nephew Lampard that scored the winning goal. Redknapp is a bullshitter in reality but it's strange he needs to do it for a match that was without his bullshit, still remarkable.
1. He didn't score hat-trick, he scored one. 2. Paul Kitson won the penalty. 3. He smashed it low and hard to the 'keepers right. 4. Dean Saunders didn't miss an open net. He hit the back post with a shot struck with the outside of his foot from a very tight angle. 5. At no point did anybody dribble around him.
Outside of important stuff like the news, politics etc - I honestly don't care if someone lies to me to be entertaining. I'd rather talk to a funny liar than a boring truthful person. You should hear some of the whoppers I make up
Weird, Redknapp doesn't seem to remember anything correctly. They weren't 4-2 down because they ended up winning 4-3, and the Di Canio penalty incident happened in the 65th minute, and he blasted it rather than chipping it.
@barty417 You are right......that penalty Redknapp is talking about is against Arsenal, when he played for Charlton....and not west ham......redknapp is old and forget's things...... watch?v=xovHbpjluFw&feature=related
I remember Di Canio when he played for Paedo FC told Ian Ferguson of Rangers to meet him after the final whistle for a 'square go'. Fergie hammered on the home team dressing room door shouting "C'mon ya ***t" but captain Tom Boyd appeared and told him he had already got dressed and left the ground without having a shower.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story...
Not only did this story happen exactly as Harry said it, Di Canio also gave mouth to mouth resuscitation to John Terry, headbutted Materazzzi and also scored in injury time to keep Carlisle United up
Massive respect to Paolo di vanio. When he caught the ball v Everton he knew that the Everton goalkeeper had dislocated his knee and was in a bad way.
"The best stories deserve some embellishment." - Gandalf the Grey
I like Harry's version better than the truth.
4oozehead t0poò6 I to 6f6ùàa
It’s better to exaggerate when telling a story.. it’s been proven to boost a person’s street credit
😂😂😂😂😂
David McMullan just saw the clip of the game. The pissed myself at the part he goes di canio chipped the ball😂😂
The best story teller in football
Di Canio, just a brilliant football player. Enjoyed watching him play.
Watched him play for Napoli once against a great AC Milan side, he won the game on his own. LFC fan
How can you not love Di Canio 🤣🤣🤣
"Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story~Mark "chopper" Reid
Ah, would I do a thing like that? Thats my boy, one in the skull 🤣
* a good yarn !
harry is as west ham as pie and mash, i would have him back anyday, and as for di-canio the man had more passion for the club than most of our squad have now, noble sears and collison appart
There's no passion in football anymore.. Them days are gone.. Unfortunately
mate i absolutely loved freddie sears when he came through for us, shame he never really made it in the prem... but he'll always be remembered for that "ghost goal" for Palace against Bristol City
My all time favourite player.
Di Canio was a genuis.....only one of two opposing players that I have seen get a standing ovation at The Bridge for scoring agaisnt us....an absolute peach for West Ham, when he took it on the thigh wide right and lashed in a volley from 25 yards (the other bloke was Ronaldinho for Barca).

So basically everything 'Arry says is utter bollocks.
hahahah
When you grow up, you'll realise it's the truest thing you ever heard.
They don’t make em like Di Canio anymore
What a legend
Factually incorrect, but great storytelling!
The penalty is one youtube. He puts it into the bottom left and the keeper goes the right way. Makes you wonder how much of the other stuff is true
Well he sais 5-2, then 4-4....nonsense!
he meant it would've been 5-2 if the player had scored in the open goal
none of it, di canio was actually a really dull player, harry created him as a work of fiction
@SumoCumLoudly he was never, ever a dull player, I'm a rangers fan btw, i also don't think he was dull at Sheffield wed before West ham, no idea where u get that from unless maybe u never actually seen Di canio at the time, he wasn't dull at lazio either, u know nothing and when u have me, a rangers fan since 1985 sticking up for an ex celtic player, u know ur very wrong

"I'll kill him!" fumes Stuart Pearce - but he gets an award... priceless! Bet 'Arry makes a bomb doing apres-dinner speaking gigs.
If I could, I would! Di Canio is a Legend here in England.
Paolo was a great character tho. Skilled and emotional. One of my favourites. Like Eric Cantona but I bet his team mates liked him more.
Yes fully agree. He was/is a proper character just like Cantona. Both have a lot of charisma
Always cheers me up this video
This man is an English hero
@warpfield98 I remember in his book he spoke quite well of his Celtic manager too. You're right though - Harry took a what was seen as risk, I think that brought the best out of Paolo. Great character.
welcome paolo di canio , all the best will look forward to finding this post in a years time go SWINDON TOWN FC
lol just spat my tea out watching this
He got an award!? Haha. Classic story.
He got an award. !!
Hilarious
Di~Canio is a Legend & I'm a Spurs-Fan !!!
In fairness, he doesn't get the story too wrong. He messes up the order of the goals and he may have been thinking of a different penalty, but in general, he gets it pretty much right.
@warpfield98 I think you're forgetting a certain Tommy Burns from his time at Celtic.
"Tommy Burns my gaffer" lol

Never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn
Di canio legend
If you watch the video he doesnt say paulo scores he just says he goes past players and we get a goal, not paulo scoring
U ever notice how little he seemed to care about his players when he talks about them?
Di Canio is definitely one of the enigmas in football. I wish Sir Alex Ferguson would have signed him when he had the chance.......
Yes fully agree. He was/is a proper character!!
Great character Harry from a Liverpool fan
Little bit of poetic licence there from Harry. You can find a video of the highlights of the match on youtube, lampard scores the winner and di canio's penalty was west hams third. Incidentally he hammers the ball into the bottom corner. Also there are no goals scored by di canio where he goes past 4 players. Still, it's a funny story and I salute Harry for it. In a way the internet ruins good story telling like that. there is always some gimp like me ready to check the facts. Food for thought.
LOL i was fucking creasing at this, amazing.
Honour to Paolo de Canio and West Ham fans he is TRUE.
i always say never let the truth get in the way of a good story
@Vooderino i was at the game, di canio scored one goal and did argue with lampard about the penalty but not as much as harry says and the penalty was the game winner because Joe Cole scored that, he did sit down in the middle of the pitch and basically asked to be substituted. Dean Saunders did hit the post at 4-2 but paolo wasnt sitting down at the time. So it was sort of true but Harry has embellished the story somewhat but that's what Harry does
anything to make the story more interesting
IRONS! thats the funniest thing iver ever seen. Bring a tear to the eye. What a legend!
Hey mate what tv channel was this on im trying to read what is says in the corner but cant!Is it a foreign one and is this quite recent?
Harry the Joker telling some joke's love arry as always.😂😂😂
@warpfield98 You could be right, Trappatoni and Roeder certainly didn't!
Harry is jokes! So glad we got him at spurs!
hahaha first time watching this ,id sit there all night buying Harry his beers
It sound like he told this story 200 times and every time he adds a bit to make it better till he gave it a new script, this is what you call Based on a true story, real names been used with plenty of special effect, anything for a bit of fun love it
He was the Balotelli of the 00's
Guys, can't we accept that, irrespective of the details-it was a funny story! Yeah, there are massive inaccuracies in Harry's tale-but he tells it so well!

grande paolo !!!
Arrys a right story teller!
thats funny Harry you are indeed a comedian
@DAJAZDJ1 IS YOUR CAPS LOCK BROKEN?
Yeh that bullet header from 6 yards and penalty in the corner def the keepers fault 'Arry..
I've just watched the highlights....it was nothing like Harry described.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story mate
Seriously don't know how he'd mistake Paulo chipping the winning penalty for Lampards edge of the box screamer to win it.
I know he played for Celtic but I met paolo di canio last year he's a cracking guy
fucking brilliant
Strange that Redknapp got the story as wrong as he did. I mean, he's either exaggerating for effect or he has a very poor memory.

+Ryan Allan he's just senile mate. he wasn't the brightest to begin with so to be senile on top of that... unlucky.
+Ryan Allan too many games to remember mate
You knew he was lying when 'arry said " I swear this is true ! "
It's anecdotal embellishment, we all do it.
Ryan Allan both
1. He didn't score hat-trick, he scored one.
2. Paul Kitson won the penalty.
3. He smashed it low and hard to the 'keepers right.
4. Dean Saunders didn't miss an open net. He hit the back post with a shot struck with the outside of his foot from a very tight angle.
5. At no point did anybody dribble around him.
George Evans Class. One of those people who tells you all the shit you got into last night. Because he was busy being sober and boring.
Callum Annable you should know the old rule of never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Callum Ann
Outside of important stuff like the news, politics etc - I honestly don't care if someone lies to me to be entertaining. I'd rather talk to a funny liar than a boring truthful person. You should hear some of the whoppers I make up
Callum Annable Bet you're fun at parties mate
Harry is a fucking legend
What does it matter about specifics? Never let the thruth get in the way of a goos story
Good old 'arry
Weird, Redknapp doesn't seem to remember anything correctly.
They weren't 4-2 down because they ended up winning 4-3, and the Di Canio penalty incident happened in the 65th minute, and he blasted it rather than chipping it.
RIP xx
He just seems like a sweet guy ! Hope he takes over England job in May.
Bo Mino well that never happened 🤣
harry redknapp is a legend, i hope one day he becomes England manager
Real Madrid, Barcelona & PSG are after arry , the silverware he’s won is the envy of every top manager in the world
@johnykoop
i think he was mistaken for another goal
@barty417 You are right......that penalty Redknapp is talking about is against Arsenal, when he played for Charlton....and not west ham......redknapp is old and forget's things...... watch?v=xovHbpjluFw&feature=related
That went well.
He can tell a good one, ( harry spoof ) ;)))
lol... That went well
yeah it was 5-4. Di Canio even had three legit penalty appeals turned down and demanded to be substituted.
@barty417 weird it's you that can't remember anything since they were 4-2 down
you cant make that up with Di Canio!! Lol
Bullshit 'Arry, he never chipped that pen. It's a good enough story without Redknapp making up parts of it.
Two Tigers legends there
BPL's greatest moment :D
what game are you on about Harry??
Hahahahaha!!
lol, nice story :) DiCanio....
Only Harry could get away with calling him Parlo!
I remember Di Canio when he played for Paedo FC told Ian Ferguson of Rangers to meet him after the final whistle for a 'square go'. Fergie hammered on the home team dressing room door shouting "C'mon ya ***t" but captain Tom Boyd appeared and told him he had already got dressed and left the ground without having a shower.
Real?
@DAJAZDJ1 You shouldn't have the caps lock on 'cause it's incorrect... You should also look up the word irony, just saying.
di canio is simple fantastic
love ya harry that was hillarious your a credit to the game
In glorous 240p. 🎉
Wonder if he found his HMRC bust quite so funny
0:55 the big basta...massive ones" hahaha now now arry dont swear
Can't access the link

He is a great story teller.
Lol I don’t play no more 😂😂😂
