A Manchester derby cloaked in sorrow was illuminated by local hero Phil Foden as Manchester City crushed Manchester United. Ricky Hatton would have loved it.
Always seemed a great guy who was proud of where he came from. Lost to two of the best, but had a bigger heart than most which got him through. Always remember his interview after Floyd Mayweather destroyed him when he said cheekily "well, he got lucky". RIP Hitman.
My laddie and I bumped into Ricky and his then girlfriend Claire Sweeny (her that used to be in Brookside) when down in Liverpool for the weekend last October. He was more than happy to have photos with us and came across as a nice bloke. Really sad news, RIP fella
