Ricky Hatton RIP

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

In bloody bits here watching his lad carry his dad’s coffin in. His poor parents too. Great turnout by the people of Manchester.

To bury your child is heart wrenching

Such a sad sad day

So sad to watch, just gutted I couldn't get out of work to be somewhere along the route. I did lay a scarf outside of his house when it happened. Such a Manchester icon. I will be raising a glass later.

Seeing he's 2 daughters with there mum,absolutely in bits will live with me so sad

I see Tyson Fury has turned up in a specially made suit consisting of pictures of himself. What a total cock and how disrespectful.

And he's got the cheek to call others a "Big Dosser".
"Physician, heal thyself".

BBC News Website is running a live stream - just seen Mike Summerbee close to tears

He was blubbing like a good’un, bless you Buzzer.

People form his community are often accused of a lack of class/respect/ awareness. He manged to show all 3 in one go.

Liam Gallagher and Debbie attend Ricky’s funeral.

What time is he coming the ground just about to walk down from the Grove to pay my respects.

To be fair to him, Hatton often said when he was in a dark place during covid, Fury was always the first to phone him and see how he's doing.

Fury ain't a bad fella and clearly had massive respect for him and he was in Fury's corner for the first Wilder fight.

The suit is a bit much for a funeral but that's who he is. Ricky was a big character himself. I doubt Fury means any disrespect. He was his mate and just being himself. Still, probably just better to wear a better suit.

Wouldn’t surprise me if when Hatton first saw that suit, he laughed and said if he pops it first, Fury has to wear that to his funeral, followed by something like ‘you big daft ****!’

Truth is, nobody knows. It’s Fury’s business.

Didn't recognise Mani there at first on BBC feed. He looks distraught.

Exactly what I was thinking, in the documentary he takes the piss out of his own clothes and shows a wardrobe full of of frankly bloody awful jackets,

 

[manimanc]

Just got to the ground, hes coming in through Gate 11 and driving past entrance T. Am getting emotional already.

Just having a dinner break and finding myself welling up again watching bits on my phone

I dont recall a time manchester has come together like this for one man
The arena bomb of course but one man who touched so many

RIP champ

 

[jimharri]

When you actually take a few seconds to think about it, taking 30k fans out to Vegas to watch him is an absolutely staggering number. The strip must have been drunk dry that weekend. How many would Fury take; half that figure (which wouldn't be at all shabby)?

 

[I'm Blue]

A lovely send off.
Hopefully he’s finally at peace.
