If you read his biography of Tony Wilson it’s very obvious Morley is a blue haha.Irvine Welsh is a hardcore Hibee but used to watch City when he lived in Manchester in the 80s, wrote it into one of his characters in The Acid House, ‘seemed more real than united’
Saw music journo and perennial TV talking head Paul Morley walking back into town on his own after the liverpool game, had no idea he was a blue

It’s a chilling mystery for sure. It’s been churning round my brain for years.“But much of his life in exile had been spent around Manchester. Immediately after Scappaticci left Belfast in 2003, he had been tracked via his laptop to an ice cream warehouse near Manchester City’s Etihad stadium. He was a City fanatic. His father had run an ice cream business. Perhaps the two things were linked – but as with so many of his secrets, the truth of the matter is now buried with him”
On a serious note though the Scappaticci ice cream stall is still going on market st isn’t it? Down near Boots?

How the heck did someone with the surname Scappaticci become a leading member of the IRA lol
Not that unlikely, vast majority of Italians are staunch catholics

Found myself seated next to Lesley Sharp (actress) in the Ataturk stadium.
I assume she's been mentioned in here?

Just watching Claire Foy on ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’, whose father is described as a ‘City fan from Manchester’…… so I like to think she must carry a torch for us too. Father and daughter both drinking out of City mugs at one point in the programme and joking that they hope they don’t turn out to have United supporting ancestors……

I thought I saw Paul Morley behind me in Istanbul but couldn't remember if he was a blue or if I was imagining things.Irvine Welsh is a hardcore Hibee but used to watch City when he lived in Manchester in the 80s, wrote it into one of his characters in The Acid House, ‘seemed more real than united’

Hadn’t heard she was a blue but maybe that’s the reason she’s long been a favourite actress of mine!
