Ricky Hatton RIP

[DCS1]

The private funeral service is at Manchester Cathedral at 12 o'clock (tickets only)..... it looks like the cortege is then heading along Gt Ancoats St/Pollard St towards the Etihad and reaching it around 1.15pm .... after that it will then head on elsewhere for a private family/friends service. (probably Hyde)

but these times are only from a Google search, and need checking.

Thank You - I had seen the route but as I didnt know how long the service would be, wasnt sure when it would reach the Etihad

 

[DCS1]

Campbell Hatton posted the full route the other day, however it may have changed as I can’t find it now.

Thank you- I have got the info now- I appreciate you trying to help me

That clip is AI.

Why people would make clips like that it’s in poor taste I didn’t know it was AI so I’ve deleted.

Unfortunately it's going to be a wet horrible typical manc day for the Hitmans farewell. But it won't put me off attending.

He wouldn't have it any other way - has the sun ever shone in Hyde........... :-)

Where are us Blues planning to congregate?

Cathedral? Etihad?

What time would it be at the ground roughly.
I'm thinking of leaving work early to pay a top man respect x

Cheers blue

Ricky would chuckle at it being 1.15

Have heard 9.45 Cheshire cheese Gee cross,12 o'clock Manchester cathedral .

Yeah, he knocked it on the head.

Good choice I think. Fair play to him though. Tough old game is boxing and he had the bollocks to give it a go.

99.9% of armchair fans would shit themselves if they actually had to step through the ropes for real. Takes some insane fortitude to get in and fight in front of an arena and thousands/millions watching at home, no matter your level.

Thought he was improving every fight to be fair to him

 

[Manc baggie]

Been re-watching some of his fights.
My god, what a warrior he was.

Just watched his documentary. Very very sad. Not sure whether his dad ripped him off or not, but he never seemed to get over losing Billy Graham from his corner.

Shame that he got to he world champion but deemed himself a failure for losing to 2 of the GOAT fighters

1.15pm

Is that time confirmed?
I've just booked half a day's holiday so I can get to the Etihad.

A certain ex head hunter paying tribute to someone he loved from Thailand.

From 1 minute in to the 6th to 7 th minute.

That was what was unique about Ricky. In spite of never hiding being a staunch blue, fans of every other club loved him as well.

Yes that's the expected time
