Ian Curtis: An Unlikely Manchester City Supporter

[Hollywood Blue]

I always thought that Adam Johnson looked more like Ian than the two blokes who played him in those two films

 

[BlueHalli]

Curtis was a Mancunian music legend and died when he was only 23.

Such genius will never be seen again.

RIP Ian Curtis.

I didn't think he was that young !. Always thought he was in the '27 club'.

If that was his family home why isn't there a Blue Plaque on it ?

Saw these guys at the Wychwood last year, not quite the real thing but pretty good.

I wonder how Mr Curtis would have coped with the 31 trophyless years which lay ahead for City when he died?

His music didn't give me the impression he looked on the bright side of life with an optimism that things might get better soon.
