Tributes paid to the man who kept people safe at Manchester institution for decades
Tributes are being paid to one of Manchester’s most-loved doormen. Ian 'Strawboss' Garner worked the doors at pubs all over the city, but was perhaps best known for his time at the Star & Garter in Piccadilly.
“It will be repeated for years to come as it has been for years and years already - the Star and Garter building owes a huge chunk of its improved condition both inside and out to Ian,” said the Star & Garter’s landlord Andy Martin.“It cannot ever be explained just how wonderful a human being he was and how lucky we and everyone else who ever met him was to have done so.”
“The last time I saw him, he was in his bed, leaving this world. I told him I loved him, and he said ‘I love you too, Julie’, words I will forever hear, and hold in my head and heart. He said ‘it’s nice to know so many people care about me’, and they did, Ian, they really did.”
