Only heard this today. A beautiful tribute to a wonderful man and a wonderful city.

[@hopwon]

I cannot help but shed a tear and cry his name out everytime I hear this. RIP Tony, Manchester loves and misses you every day. Lets make the 20th Feb a Manc Holiday :) Not like they do down South where they need their mams permission, we will just all phone in sick on the 20th!

[@jarzinio6472]

Why do my eyes leak each time I watch this, much maligned but missed by so many

[@johnwallification]

Because it touches the very marrow of what it means to take joy in being alive

[@Blumondae]

As a Latina living in America, I first learned about St Anthony through 24HPP and found his story fascinating. How he cared and contributed so much for the Art's in his City/Home and how he felt everyone who rose from Manchester 's Ashes should contribute to them as well. Joy Division/New Order were my introduction to Manchester, but St Anthony was my Professor Emeritus. Well done everyone, Coogan, Sumner, Morris, Gilbert, Iggy, Rowetta, Ryder, Riley, and especially Garry & Duddell on furthering the immortalization of Mr. Manchester, St Anthony . 🙏💜💙❤️

[@ericjackson9496]

Cheers . I hope that your life is blessed with laughter and love..

I do as well - and I spread the word of Anthony H Wilson...❤

you love him or you hate him you 'dis him or you rate him but it has to be said whether a blue or a red a punk, a mod or a raver that Anthony H was a cut above despite some bad behaviour he gave me good times introduced me to rhymes that truly were my saviour so wherever I've travelled throughout my life across this small blue planet my outlook on life was forever changed thanks to Tony and Martin Hannett

Beautiful addition. As a friend first and then student of an oft-maligned and problematic art critic this poem and your addition show the public's love for the importance of good critics. We need not agree with everything they said to recognize they can have as much importance as the artists they criticized and popularized.

I'm lucky that I got to see/hear Mike Garry perform live earlier this year when he opened up for the legend that is John Cooper Clarke. It's just so sad what happened to Tony Wilson. He should have been with us for many more years than he was.

[@danielthompson4463]

I saw Mike Garry perform it last night in the same context. Reminded me of how I love this.

[@tonyrutt9918]

Saw the two of them last night here in Portland, Oregon. Brilliant.

[@aquiozclips3884]

Tony Wilson...We love and miss you. xxxx

[@Acethomas999]

I’ve listened to this tune maybe 20 times now - which Tony would like because it’s how many times UNITED have won the league. This morning I listened to it, closed my eyes and within seconds a tear 😢 ran down my left cheek. Later when referencing our United greats who like Tony are no longer on this mortal realm a tear formed and dripped down my right eye! I can honestly say I don’t tear up very often as a 43 year old man. It’s not that I’m afraid to shed a tear so hide it. It just because most things don’t hit me in the heart, the body and the soul BUT MY MANCHESTER and your Manchester should always HIT YOU RIGHT THERE. For if it doesn’t then you can’t be tuned into the right frequency. Thank you Mr Wilson for everything you told me as a young boy watching you & listening to you and that most memorable day when I met you round the corner from the hacienda opposite the deansgate locks (and you refused to sign my shirt because that’s not who you were) lives long in my memory. Manchester’s most famous man is rightly Alan Turing but to me you are my favourite icon of Manchester and a statue in your honour is fitting for the greatest teacher in the greatest city in the world. It’s HOME and it’s most definitely where the heart is.

[@adammurphy4014]

Just cannot love this enough. Remember seeing Tony around Manchester in the late 80s and early 90s. Used to go to the Hacienda 3 nights a weekend sometimes and loved it all. Such fond memories of my home city. This makes me incredibly proud and nostalgic. The world owes you a debt Tony. Fantastic tribute.

Ben Ripley Same for me Ben.. Wherever I am in the world a listen to this takes me back to Manchester, back to the Hacienda, Back to my youth.
