9. Giovanni Trapattoni On Paolo Di Canio

Trapattoni and Di Canio, to put it lightly, have not been best of pals throughout their respective careers.

And when asked over whether Di Canio would be included in Trapattonis 2002 World Cup squad, he responded: Only if theres an outbreak of bubonic plague.

Unfortunately for Di Canio (and fortunately the rest of humanity), there wasnt an outbreak of bubonic plague and he was not selected to travel to the World Cup in Japan and Korea.
