For the one that got stabbed in chorlton they closed schools in northenden for his funeral. Was on granada reports and the same, they were all wannabe gangsters in over sized black suits from asda
Somebody very close to me used to promote raves in the 90s and he has always said that the noonans were just bullies. But very dangerous bullies.
White Tony may or may not have found that out to his demise
On the day of Des funeral I went to Southern Cemetery to pay respects to my grandad on the anniversary of his death which I have done since he died in 1983
i was with my mam and was stopped going through the main gates by a group of scrotes wearing black asking where I was going told them to fuck off as I was visiting a grave
Dominic seen this and told the group to let me through
this is what the Noonans were, a bunch of bullies who if they could bully you
Lived and grew up in Chorlton with Des in the pubs and I knew of him and a few times when I was younger asked to go drinking with him and his hangalongs and he was a hard fucker, but knew to swerve it
My best mate started drinking with them and even went to Rags matches with him, which was sacrilege him being a blue
My mate ended up having to leave the country due to Des hold on him, another mate ended up in Kirkham through taking the rap for him
In the cemetery Des has one of the biggest grave stones with his picture on it and painting of a Rag playing football
just down the side of this grave is a simple grave loving cared for by the deceased family, the grave of Sir Matt Busby
Even in death it’s all about how big and mighty he was
On the other hand I worked for over twenty years with a cousin of Des, he was named after Des dad and Des named after the lads dad
The Noonan I worked with was the most hard working, generous man who had morals
i asked him once why he never was part of that lifestyle and he told me when he was younger he was but grew up to be his own man
Frequently he was asked by Des, Dominic why he would get up every morning at 5am for shit money when he could earn loads with them for fuck all
His answer was I can wake up every morning knowing I hadn’t made other lives less fortunate a misery.
