Ian Curtis: An Unlikely Manchester City Supporter

[KenTheLandlord]

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.

i dunno, he wrote a few toe tappers.

That Squad should of gone on to bigger and better things.

And why wasn't Ian Macrae listed as one of the players?

He is Keith MacRae

Not unlikely at all considering he was a local.

Joy division really are a band I can lose myself in, the poster who said "mesmerising" before is spot on.

I'm not old enough to have seen them but just listening to their music is mesmerising.

Curtis was a genius, no other word to describe his song writing.

One of my favourite bands as a lad and to be honest I didn’t give a fuck what team he supported. Although I do understand wanting him to be one of your own.

Would it diminish people’s love of their music if he was a mad Red?

You can't deny great music regardless of their team. Though i dislike rod stewart for mentioning celtic & utd in his lyrics. I'm shallow as fuck.

Definitely. He'd be dead to me.
