Steve Bunce sharing a fine tribute of the great man on 5live

I was just listening to him on 5live earlier this morning talking about last night’s big fight, obviously he would have had no idea then. That tribute would have straight from the heart as soon as he heard the news. Has anyone got a clip of it?

Fucking hell. RIP Hitman!


Shame to see some insensitive speculation in here. Does it matter what happened? The TMZness of death goes through me nowadays.

What a kick in the stones this feels.

I absolutely loved Hatton and used to see him now and again in and around the games - he's made such a mark on the sport on the region and country.

Absolutely gutted for him and his family.

Love ya Hitman..........

Amir Khans tweet seems to point to Ricky’s mental health contribution to his death

People need to talk and not close up especially males

At the start of Steve Bunces emotional interview on 5live he implied as much. He was supposed to be at a boxing event last night but didn't turn up. A friend went to check on him and found his body.

Wonder if there will be a minute’s silence at the game today?

Be embarrassing if there isn't to be honest.........

Yes it matters totally. If his tragic death touches one person to seek help for the mental health problems it will be a blessing

Tributes and then a minutes applause they are saying, I’m sure United fans would have respected a minutes silence because when he boxed he ‘United the City’

 

[Mancity1980]

Is that confirmed? Sky are saying not suspicious circumstances.

Suicide and accidents are not classed as suspicious circumstances.

A Minutes applause confirmed

 

[MCFC1993]

Awful awful news, thoughts are with his family, thats devastating.

 

[Vienna_70]

I’ve just seen this, and I’m absolutely shocked. I really can’t believe it.

A Manchester icon. As well as being one of the best boxers of his generation, he was also a big Manchester City supporter, and he left no one in any doubt where his football allegiance lay.

R. I. P. Ricky. You will be sadly missed.
