The Resume

    (July 9, 1968- )
    Played for Ternana, Lazio, Juventus, Napoli, AC Milan (all Italy),' Glasgow Celtic (Scotland),' Sheffield Wednesday and West Ham United (both England)

Why he might be annoying:

    During a game against Roma, he gave a nazi salute to the Lazio (his home team) fans (January 10, 2005).
    He likes to be known as 'The Maestro.'
    He left most of his teams after bust-ups with the coaches.
    He was banned from playing for 11 matches after he pushed referee Paul Alcock (Sept 26, 1998).
    He was rumoured to be moving to top English side Manchester United, but the move never materialized.
    He then claimed that he knew nothing about it, despite the fact that many of the rumours were reported to be from his agent.
    He fueled the rumours with cryptic comments on his official web-site (2002).
    He suffers from depression.
    He gave spectators the nazi salute claiming it was a Roman salute.
    He said Benito Mussolini was Italy's greatest leader.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is a very talented player when he sticks to just playing the game.
    He always speaks his mind, even when it gets him into trouble (i.e. all the time).
    He won FIFA's Fair Play Award, putting his past bad reputation behind him (November 29, 2001).
