3. Paolo Di Canio – Lazio vs Juventus – 2005
Ex-Lazio player and former Sunderland manager Paolo Di Canio was caught offering the Fascist salute to Lazio fans on a number of occasions, most prominent being in a match against Juventus in 2005. A self-confessed Fascist, Di Canio associated himself with the left-wing politics of the Lazio fans. For his Fascist salute, he was banned for one match and fined £7,000. Di Canio later tried to justify his actions and almost tried to glorify fascism, not a wise move when coming to his global reputation.
