Paolo di Canio has urged West Ham United fans to back manager Alan Curbishley.
Asked about youngsters James Tomkins and Freddie Sears, Di Canio was adamant: "They must grow up with the passion. They must remember that everything they do they have to do with professionalism but especially they must give even more for these fans because they are absolutely fantastic. They follow the club during the season even when the team maybe doesn't play so well."
