Joy Division/New Order drummer Stephen Morris is a blue as well. Remember an interview where he was saying that Barney and Hookie were typical rags as he couldn't remember them being interested in football at all until United first won the Premier League :o) The late Rob Gretton was a massive blue as well so the band and those around them split down the middle football wise (if you include for Tony Wilson).

Great post - thanks. Your comment about 'World in Motion' made me think that 'Best Soccer Songs Ever' would make an excellent post...

Naturally he was a Blue, he was born in Manchester for a start (near Old Trafford unfortunately).

To add other musical creative geniuses to be Blues ; Billy Duffy ; Johnny Marr ; Liam and Noel ; Damon Gough ; Mike Pickering and many more...

Celeb ManUre fans Eamon Holmes ; Rod Hull & Zoe Ball . Nuff said

that said, it's been said that Joy Division was "a brilliant lead signer and a bunch of Manchester United fans" basically any time Barney or Hooky does/says something stupid.

There was an article about Ian Curtis a few years ago in one of the MCFC publications. Is daughter is a big blue and they were saying that Curtis himself was so obsessed that when they were looking at houses he was judging them on how far away from, and whether they were facing, Maine Road!
