Di Canio Enjoyed His Geordie Evening!

Franco Baresi says Paolo Di Canio "enjoyed" his outing at St James's Park - despite the boos from Newcastle United fans and a boot from Joey Barton. Franco Baresi: “I think Paolo enjoyed the match. “He came even though he knew this wasn’t the best stadium for him as Sunderland are big rivals of Newcastle. “He’s a big player and a big man to play with a smile on his face. “It was a fantastic night and a fantastic atmosphere. “I want to say thank you to all the fans who filled the stadium. I was very happy for Steve. It was a successful event. “It was for charity, but we wanted to play well for the people. We trained hard for this game.”       Source: Newcastle United Mad
