Ricky Hatton RIP

Think unfortunately it’s his body that’s distraught. He struggled to even walk these days due to emphysema

Yeah I was gonna ask is he struggling with his health too. Looks like he's struggling to breathe. Poor fella lost his wife not long ago too.

The awards ceremony? Hmm. I still don't think it was the time or the place to wear it. But I'm not going to derail the thread by arguing the toss about it. Like the suit, it's not the time, nor the place. Sleep well Ricky.

There’s a back story to that suit that explains it. Do a bit of research.

The back story is somewhat tenuous. He described it a shit suit. If he had wanted to give Ricky a laugh he would as a United supporter turned up in a specially made Manchester City suit

The biggest compliment I can pay Ricky Hatton and which may be his most abiding legacy is that he made us all feel like we were on the same team. Regardless of your team, your race, your sexuality or any other barrier which can divide people, Ricky Hatton made us all feel like we were in it in together. I don't think a single other Mancunian will ever come close to uniting the City in the way he did.

Absolutely spot on.
Well said
 
I am sure that the funeral was held today because its World Mental Health Day 2025 and it recognises poor Ricky's struggles. Anybody reading this if you are having issues please, please seek help. To those who think its far far away from their lives and their circles remember this - suffering is never obvious -
"You Ok mate?"
"Yeah, yeah its all great"
"No listen - look at me and tell me its all good"

I expect the irony of you derailing a thread paying respect to a local hero by accusing one of the mourners of being an attention seeker is lost on you.
 
I'm just catching up with some of the tv footage after leaving home at 10:30 and standing outside the cathedral until the entourage left. A special mention to the interview Jane Couch did and which I've just seen. By her own admission a one time crazy lady, who was banned from every pub in Fleetwood, boxing turned her own life around.and she spoke beautifully about her friendship with Ricky and the backing he gave her and women's boxing.
A cold grey day with specks of rain in the air matched the mood. The sense of grief and loss was palpable and even some of the humour in the speeches, relayed over speakers for those of us standing outside, couldn't really lift it for long. Everybody knew just what Manchester, Britain and the world lost and said goodbye to today. Ricky, I hope you've now found the peace you couldn't seem to find in life. There will only ever be one Ricky Hatton.

No the concept of respect is clearly lost on you. As I have repeatedly posted the day was about Ricky and the comments re Fury have no bearing on the solemnity of the day

I think “repeatedly” seals the deal. Hoist by your own attention seeking petard

And you seem to be going out of your way to make this thread about you. Give it a rest. None of us care about what suit Tyson Fury wore. It will be forgotten about tomorrow.

I’ve a feeling the poster thought everyone would jump onto his obvious link to the fact Fury is a United fan, and go in on him for wearing that suit and being a disrespectful United fan.

It’s failed. Spectacularly, because nobody cares about football today.

It's a sad state of affairs when blues are arguing about Tyson and if he was disrespectful or not, it's should be about celebrating a true warrior and legend and massive blues life

100% I can't believe it's even being mentioned. If one person would have found it hilarious it would have been Ricky. Hopefully the tit for tat petty squabbling on this subject is removed from the thread.

Who's arguing? I made it clear in my post that I wasn't going to argue all night about it. My final point was that, as you alluded to, it was a day to mourn and celebrate the life of a true legend of the sport. His day. Yet Fury turns up in that suit, covered in pictures of himself. And that's my last word on it.
