A Tribute to... Anthony Moody

After hearing news of an approaching visit to Leeds, I thought it necessary to tribute Anthony Moody of Rochdale, England. For those of you in America who do not know Ant, you've probably been told about him many times by his ex flat mate/bum chum Joedan Stanley.
I was fortunate enough to have met Anthony about 4 years ago before he turned into an old man going to bed at 9:00pm on a Friday evening. Even back in his party days his sensibility and kindness could be seen all of the time... until he got drunk.

When drunk Ant becomes a completely different man. I think my personal favourite drunk Ant moment was in a Subway sandwich shop after a night in Wire. After a long night in Wire a small group of us decided to serve our raging appetites by going for a bite to eat at our local Subway. Upon ordering his sandwich Ant was not happy with the small amount of jalapenos placed on his sandwich by the shy and vulnerable girl behind the counter. He demanded she put more jalapenos on his sandwich and when she refused the Anthony Moody alter-ego emerged. Three shouted words in succession were enough to make the situation uncomfortable and hilarious all at once.
"BITCH, SLUT, WHORE"
Here are some pictures of Anthony:





There we go. If only I could find the video footage of Ant after a night on Stella trying to fight Joe, because he thinks Joe is the man whos head he previously spat on.
Or the video footage of a rag doll Ant, because the amount of alcohol consumed stopped him from being able to move. I only hope I can gather more stories in the future.
We love you Ant.
