Legends remembered in our great city.

[urban genie]

A lot of the legends were not born in or near Manchester, so my vote goes to Emmeline Pankhurst the girl from Moss Side.

We ain't voting.

we were, up until 3 pages ago posting art/sculpture/architecture that celebrate famous poeple linked to Greater Manchester, we now seem to just be randomly naming them instead

Also page2-3 has a full dscussion on Emiline and the rights and wrongs of her statue being up

Are you Trigger

It's amazing that one of the worlds greatest ever activists (not getting into the whole right or wrongs) is remembered by most as a daft line in a sitcom - that really is my favourite ever Trigger quote.

Grade A+ twat for me and that's without his rag allegiance.
He was from Ordsall in SALFORD he was not a Mancunian so the whole Mr Manchester thing for me was and always will be utter shite. A gobshite chancer who got lucky with the exploding Manchester music scene.
John Robb has actually come out and said that Wilson never made the actual we do things differently here quote too.
Rant over.

John Dalton is a famous adopted son of Manchester. He first proposed that matter was made up of atoms composed of different elements.
