Di Canio’s presence lifts all but boss Grant

West Ham 3 Wigan Athletic 3

The Italian watched West Ham’s win over Wigan as he attended Upton Park to open the Paolo Di Canio lounge, and supporters sang his name repeatedly in homage to the man who was a hero in his four years at the club.

They had chanted it last week at Anfield, too, but that time in protest at the capitulation by their team and manager Avram Grant, who hardly cuts an inspirational figure.
