CITY BIGWIGS BACK STATUE FOR HITMAN

- by JERRY LAWTON, CHIEF REPORTER

RICKY Hatton is set to be immortalised with a statue in his honour - thanks to the Daily Star.

We backed the campaign calling for his home town of Hyde, near Manchester, to build a bronze in his name after his death aged 46.

Town hall chiefs have now stepped in to support the move after thousands signed a petition in support of honouring “The Hitman”.
