Cole, Joe
West Ham United & England 
Birthdate: November 8, 1981
Birthplace: North London, England
Height: 1.76 mts
Weight: 70 kgs
Position: Midfielder
International: 0 caps, 0 goals (as of August 23, 2000)
World Cups: 0
Previous Clubs: None
Transfer Fee: -
Still regarded as the best of his generation, Cole is back after a broken leg suffered when he was all but a first team regular for West Ham. His progress has already been monitored closely by the international coaches and his excellent left foot adds balance and style to the West Ham midfield. A confident young player, Cole finds the technical part of the game very easy and the next stage of his play is to establish a regular place in the first team. Creative and skilful, Cole is the most talented player of the teenage generation just starting out in the English game. He has great poise on the ball and can regularly beat defenders. Once considered a future defender himself he now seems most likely to get chances in midfield.

Ferdinand, Rio

World Cups: 1 (1998)
Previous Clubs: None
Transfer Fee: -
Regarded on his emergence as the future of English defending – a ball-playing centre-half – he has inevitably been compared to Hammers’ legend Bobby Moore. He made his international debut against Cameroon in 1997. He was in England’s squad at the 1998 World Cup, but he did not play. The elegant defender is excellent on the ball, and a natural libero, though his defensive acumen has sometimes been questioned. Looks likely to be Sol Campbell’s long-term partner in the English defence in the near future.
di Canio, Paolo
Birthdate: July 9, 1968
Birthplace: Rome, Italy
Height: 177 cm

Position: Midfielder
International: 0 caps, 0 goals
World Cups: 0
Previous Clubs: SS Lazio, Ternana, Juventus, Napoli, Genoa, Celtic, Sheffield Wednesday
Transfer Fee: $6.60 Millions of Dollars
Paolo is a gifted, crowd-pleasing forward of the very highest order, possessing a spell-binding array of close ball skills and a powerful shot. However, there is a downside. The Italian has a temper which has been known to overflow into naughtiness.
