I heard some time ago that they were going to put up a statue of Ian Curtis in Manchester is this going to materialise.

Like the one of Alf Roberts?

I hope not, that would make him iconic, when in reality he was a very troubled, sad, unpredictable, depressed individual person, but it's up to the people of Manchester in the end.

Personally I would have preferred to see one of Eddie Yates or Stan Ogden.

Stan was married to Hilda and Eddie was their lodger.

how about a statue of Tony Wilson?

I can't remember the sourcebut it was a joke about 24HPP and te hype surounding Joy Division in 2002. A journelist as a joke said at this rate there will be a statue of Ian Curtis in ST Ann's Square.

As far as I know there are no such plans to put up a statue of Ian Curtis and the majority of mancs don't know who he is anyway.

I suppose a statue of Ian Curtis will be more revelent than a lot of the older people with statues who no longer have much impact on modern society.

Hey a Wilson statue would be perfect - people only piss on them on the way home from the pub, don't they - that would be so fitting
