Re: anthony wilson is dead
Very sad to die so young. He really helped shape the cultural and musical scene in the northwest, especially in Manchester.
Incidentally his partner Yvette Livesey, a former Miss Great Britain, is from Oswaldtwistle. Anthony Wilson 1950-2007 | News | NME.COM

Re: anthony wilson is dead
I remember him being Bob Greaves' understudy on Granada Reports in the early seventies. Then he was just 'Tony' Wilson.
In the 80's/90's he came across as arrogant, self opinionated and a bit of a know it all..but... He knew his stuff..like Mohammed Ali, John McEnroe etc.. if you can do it....aint nothing wrong in gobbing off about it... Northwest music has lost a fighter today.

He was just a local Manchester lad I've seen in many times in the 70/80's in the Stretford End at Old Trafford.. dressed scruffy in a very old jacket and wearing a raggy old United scarf.. good lad! |

Re: anthony wilson is dead
Only really seen him on granada reports as a presenter many yrs ago.. then pops up on talk shows.. didnt take too much notice of him... however a lot of good stuff and good stories about him appearing on manchester forums...
The general concencus of opinion is.. "he made a difference".. sounds good to me RIP... Too early  |

Re: anthony wilson is dead
I worked with him for a while in the late 80's, always full of fab ideas but prepared to listen and push others' ideas too
RIP Tony
