Manc our lucky stars

"AND on the sixth day, God created Manchester." The phrase has become synonymous with the city, its culture, attitude and outlook.

Manc our lucky stars

Attributed to Leo B Stanley, the owner of Afflecks indoor market, it was first coined in 1988, but has been adopted and cherished by the city's music scene the Madchester era especially.

Leo said: "One night after the Hacienda I couldn't sleep, so I picked up the Bible and read, 'On the sixth day, God created Man, and wrote down in my Filofax, 'On the sixth day, God created Manchester! That T-shirt went mental. We couldn't print them fast enough."

And so, from the sixth day onwards, Oasis - and more - were spawned from the sprawling metropolis.

Would Oasis have arrived if Madchester hadn't become the centre of the indie movement in the 1980s?

There's a strong feeling that the Gallagher brothers' love for the city's music scene came from The Stone Roses.
