City Supporting Manchester Musicians

[Big Dave Watson]

I watched Control last night and in it Ian Curtis was heard to say that his favourite colour was 'Man City Blue'. I believe Johnny Marr and Billy Duffy are also Blues but I wondered if there was a definitive list anywhere showing which Manchester band members support City e.g. other members of Joy Division/New Order, Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, Buzzcocks, Slaughter and the Dogs, Nosebleeds, Smiths etc etc.....

Any takers? Maybe this has been done before. Apologies if it has.

Richard Jupp, Elbow's drummer, is a match-going City fan.

Mark Day – The Happy Mondays
