Tris was one of the finest editors of Boxing News. That article is possibly the finest piece he has ever written. I type that with tears in my eyes.
Ricky Hatton RIP

Fair play to you Danny. Immense strength to deliver what was a very fitting eulogy for a personal friend, as well as a well loved blue and boxing legend.
Still hard to believe. Is that the big cathedral on Oxford road?
No its behind shambles sq
Cheers I'll look it up.

That had me laughing one minute and crying the next.This was a wonderful write up from Tris Dixon.
Ricky Hatton: The heart and soul behind a boxing wonderland
Ricky Hatton is an International Boxing Hall of Famer and a British boxing legend. Tris Dixon, who wrote Hatton's autobiography "War and Peace" with the Manchester star, recounts some of their times together over the last two decades.www.boxingscene.com
An absolutely beautiful piece about the hitman.
It's still unreal what has happened.
Such a huge character and so young, they always leave the biggest void.

Good to see that Ricky gets a proper send off at our cathedral.
And good to be able to give our Manchester hero a proper send off.
He's one of the few people that both Red&Blue fans come together as one.
A true Manc Legend. RIP

Is there any lead left?
Seems it is? His manager who claims he found him believes he didn't mean to do it, I'm struggling to see how anyone can accidentally hang themselves?
Ricky Hatton's manager reveals tragic moment he found boxer dead
Paul Speak recalled the 'shock and confusion' of discovering Hatton at his £1.7million home, where he let himself in before 'hearing music coming from upstairs'.
Just heard that Ricky's 2 daughter and Cambells kid will be coming out with the players today and the Hatton family will be in a platinum box. Hopefully a surfer flag is ready too.
I'm sure his name will be sung loud and proud again today.

Thought the tributes at the game today were class. Well done to everyone involved, 1894 Group and Don Grant the artist for the fantastic banner design.
I wonder if the club might consider a charity fundraiser and celebration of Ricky at some point. Maybe the final home game of the season, something like a retro shirt day with donations going to charitable causes Ricky supported etc?
