Best, George

• Morrissey wanted to use a photo of legendary football player George Best for the artwork of the "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side" single, but was never granted permission.

Campbell, Beatrix

• In interview, Morrissey has cited this feminist's work as 'bedside material' (source needed).

Cantona, Eric

• Around 1995 Morrissey was infatuated with this French football player who played for Manchester United and who had just been suspended after an altercation with a fan. He mentioned him in his stage banter on the 1995 Boxers tour and threw into the audience tambourines with the words 'ERIC', 'CANTONA' or both written on this skin. Cantona is also
• Interviewed by Q Magazine in September 1995, Morrissey said "I feel very excited by him as long as he doesn't say anything. He certainly made the world of football slightly less boring this year. I approved because it was very entertaining and I found the witnesses in the crowd very suspect. When I first saw it on television, I howled. I watched every version of the news. He also happens to be a great player. The negative publicity doesn't matter... as don't the Crytal Palace fans. I think he set a good example. I found it very encouraging and glamorous and exciting. And it wasn't violence as much as self defence. he is a human being and the abuse hurled at him was incredibly personal and disturbing. How could he lived with himself if had he not reacted? Everyone secretly agrees with him anyway."
• The introduction to the "Introducing Morrissey" live video is a short film in which an Eric Cantona loving bootboy is seen visiting Morrissey landmarks around London.

Carr, Cornelius

• Morrissey was photographed with his arm around Carr's shoulders for an interview published in the May 1994 issue of Select magazine.
• Morrissey asked Carr to appear in the video for his song "Boxers".

Clinton, Hillary

• In various interviews given during the 2012 American election campaign, Morrissey expressed more than once that he would have preferred Clinton over Obama to represent the Democrats.

Conn, Billy

• A photo of Conn was used for the artwork of Morrissey's single "Boxers" (except in the USA).

Dior, Christian

• Morrissey wrote a song titled "Christian Dior" in which he seems to adopt the fashion designer's disciplined lifestyle as a model for his approach to art.

Edwards, Duncan

• He was jokingly included by Morrissey at #11 in a Top 10 list of favourite Manchester musical artists published in the 16 September 1989 issue of the NME under the title "Moanchester, So Much To Answer For". However Duncan wasn't a singer but a football player with Manchester United who died in 1958 in the Munich Air Disaster. Morrissey would record and release a song called "Munich Air Disaster 1958" in 2004, so fifteen years after this list was published.

Everett, Kenny

Hanratty, James

• This convicted murderer who was sentenced to death by hanging seems to have inspired Morrissey for his unreleased song called "Hanratty" from the recording sessions for this 1997 album "Maladjusted".

Jack The Ripper

• Whether or not Morrissey had this 19th century killer in mind when he wrote the lyrics to his song "Jack The Ripper", he did seem to know a good deal about him. In his customary introductions of the song on the 2002 tour he would regularly mention the correct year (1888), place (Whitechapel, Buck's Row) and the name of a victim (or close enough: Mary Eddows).

Kael, Pauline

• This movie critic was mentioned alongside nine other 'symbolists' in a list titled "Portrait Of The Artist As A Consumer", Morrissey's top ten films, symbolists, records and books published in the 17 September 1983 issue of the NME.

Keane, Robbie

• Morrissey praised this footballer in a missive to the True To You website in February 2013. After stating that the two are distantly related, Morrissey said "He is a gentleman of the highest caliber (or, if you must, calibre), and to watch him on the pitch - pacing like a lion, as weightless as an astronaut, is pure therapy. Robbie, the pleasure, the privilege is mine."

Keane, Roy

• Manchester United football player. Morrissey's song "Roy's Keen" is a pun on his name.

Kray, Ronnie and Reggie

• The Kray twins were mentioned in Morrissey's "The Last Of The Famous International Playboys".

• Morrissey sent a wreath to the funeral of Ronnie Kray in 1995.
• Morrissey's interest in West Ham football club at the turn of the century might have had something to do with the Krays, as they were associated with it.
• Morrissey gave an interview to author Jake Arnott which was published in Time Out magazine in 2004. Arnott's debut novel featured a character heavily inspired by Ronnie Kray.
• Morrissey mentions his fascination with the Kray brothers in his "Autobiography".

Lane, Kenny

• Morrissey used a photo of boxer Kenny Lane on the front of the original 1995 edition of his "Southpaw Grammar" album.

Langtry, Lillie

• She told Oscar Wilde in 1879 that he had wasted his life and biographer Len Brown speculates that this might have inspired Morrissey for the lyrics of his song "Christian Dior".

McCartney, Stella

• In a photo of Morrissey inside his Los Angeles home, taken around that time, a print of Bobby Moore could be seen on one of the walls of his living room.

Nicholson, Vivian

• This legendary 1961 football pools winner who went from rags to riches and back and who became tabloid fodder because of a string of tragic events, appeared on the cover of two singles by the Smiths: "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" and "Barbarism Begins At Home".

Obama, Barrack

However, during the 2012 campaign, he expressed his dissatisfaction with Obama and his preference for Hillary Clinton.

PETA

• Morrissey has often been very vocal in his support of the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals. He was seen wearing their t-shirts and had promotional photographs displaying his support for the organisation.

Richard III

• In the Kill Uncle tour programme Morrissey said that he was the historical figure he most identified himself with.

• In his autobiography, Morrissey announced that Walters was also his lover in the mid-1990s.

Warhol, Andy
