Initially thought the thread title was some sort of reference to Sergeant Pepper...

 

I guess, in a way, it does represent "A Day In The Life"...

It was twenty years ago today

That Paulo pushed the Ref away

 

They said he'd never play again

But West Ham made him number 10

 

So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years,
Sheffield Wednesday's Spion Kop Club Band.

Yes. I was there. Little did we know the series of events that would follow and the utter ineptitude of both the management and Chairman which, ultimately led to our decline. Compare and contrast the handling of Cantona at man utd for a far more serious offence.

 

That was the power of Ferguson and man united - we didn’t have that.

 

di Canio scored some good goals and had some good games for us - but he screwed us with his actions that day and after.

 

it was his fault and cost us massively.

 

no time for him.

the fault was buying him, the club wasn't big enough to handle the player, and certainly fell short when 'small time' danny became manager. why do you think celtic got shut of such a match winner?

Me & my 9 year old son were at that game, in the North.

 

Thought we'd get hammered when PDC got sent off. Great scenes when we scored. Sorry, but that's the silliest thing I've ever seen a ref do.

 

Di Canio was a crazy genius. Rumour was, he used to deliberately get sent off in the run up to Christmas, so he could go to Italy for the holidays while he was banned.

I though it was Carbone who got a yellow card for needlessly arguing with the ref near the Wednesday corner flag (against Charlton, perhaps?). This produced a ban, because he used to get booked quite a lot, which meant he went home to Italy for Christmas (or so the story went).

 

Can anyone confirm?
