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

That’s the Holy Named Church

Is there any lead left?

Hung himself apparently

Hope that's wrong

It’s not, unfortunately.

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.

I'll be belting out, Ricky was a top blue and by all accounts a lovely fella.

Yeah i don't want to speculate but could be anything like if your on a downer mix that with sniff and booze. Even if knew i the reason why, not sure i would post it out of respect.

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?

 

[I'm Blue]

Well done Blues.

No

The old priest was a fucking lunatic

Used to throw cold water on the homeless sleeping on the steps every morning

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Both Huddersfield and Burnley fans joined in with our “One Ricky Hatton” chants this week. I can’t think of that happening ever before.

 

[Don Karleone]

Nice tribute.

I thought the 1894 did a great job with the display. Really classy and summed up who Hatton was - the people’s champion.

I could also see a banner in east stand level 3 - can we make that permanent?

I hope his chant continues all season and beyond

The peoples champion, class. Top flag that and I also noticed a banner which I hope is a permanent fixture.
One Ricky Hatton

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

The people’s champion banner would look great as a two stick smaller flag as well. Maybe the 1894 group could do something with that, as it would be a shame to only see it once

Goosebumps reading this thread
The pictures of his family are both beautiful and very sad.

We should make a banner out of the screen display but include the gloves.
