Irvine Welsh is a hardcore Hibee but used to watch City when he lived in Manchester in the 80s, wrote it into one of his characters in The Acid House, ‘seemed more real than united’
Saw music journo and perennial TV talking head Paul Morley walking back into town on his own after the liverpool game, had no idea he was a blue

If you read his biography of Tony Wilson it’s very obvious Morley is a blue haha.

“But much of his life in exile had been spent around Manchester. Immediately after Scappaticci left Belfast in 2003, he had been tracked via his laptop to an ice cream warehouse near Manchester City’s Etihad stadium. He was a City fanatic. His father had run an ice cream business. Perhaps the two things were linked – but as with so many of his secrets, the truth of the matter is now buried with him”

It’s a chilling mystery for sure. It’s been churning round my brain for years.

On a serious note though the Scappaticci ice cream stall is still going on market st isn’t it? Down near Boots?

Just watching Claire Foy on ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’, whose father is described as a ‘City fan from Manchester’…… so I like to think she must carry a torch for us too. Father and daughter both drinking out of City mugs at one point in the programme and joking that they hope they don’t turn out to have United supporting ancestors……

I thought I saw Paul Morley behind me in Istanbul but couldn't remember if he was a blue or if I was imagining things.

Yes he is. He wrote a piece around 98/99/2000 about picking the easy option of picking Ushited and burning in hell for all of eternity,whilst choosing City was good and holy. Something along them lines anyway. I'm sure a blue on here could find it. But definitely a top blue.

Found myself seated next to Lesley Sharp (actress) in the Ataturk stadium.
I assume she's been mentioned in here?

Lesley Sharp is half sister to an old mate of mine, Tommy Patient, who passed away a few years ago. They were both featured on a Who Do You Think You Are programme. Thus I'm not at all surprised if she is a City Fan. "TP" as we all knew him was a big, big Blue. The stories I could tell about TP would go on all night. What a character, God rest his soul.
