Liam and Noel's epic gift to Manchester Gallagher Hill fans resold for huge amount
Noel Gallagher's daughter has revealed the epic gift Oasis gave its fans at the band's final gig in Manchester last night. The Wonderwall stars brought the house down again at Heaton Park in their hometown after performing for five sold-out nights to an adoring crowd.
Those not lucky enough to bag a ticket for the reunion have been gathering on the newly-named Gallagher Hill in the park to try and catch a glimpse of the gig. And last night, a thousand were given an exclusive Oasis t-shirt, branded with 'Gallagher Hill', which went down a storm with the fans as they soaked up the electric atmosphere.
Revealing the unexpected gift on Instagram, Noel's daughter, Anais, shared a photo of two revellers proudly wearing their new shirts with the caption: "Giving out these t.shirts on Gallagher Hill is [love emoji]. Now I just need a Gallagher Hill bracelet."
Sisters Claire and Kerri Davis told the Manchester Evening news the t.shirts were handed out by a man on a golf buggy. 'He just came and was handing them out, he looked official. He said 'they're from Liam but I've only got a thousand,'' they said.
The sisters looked like they treasured the t.shirts, but didn't stop another eager opportunist from taking to eBay making the most of the shirt's exclusivity.
In a listing that has popped up on selling site overnight, one fan is selling their Gallagher Hill t-shirt for an eye-watering £1026.68!
The description reads: "Official Oasis Gallagher Hill T-shirt handed out to fans at last Manchester gig courtesy of Oasis."
A source told The Sun that the Gallagher brothers wanted to thank the fans after Manchester City Council tried to to fence off the hill last week.
Revealing that the band could only get 1,000 t.shirts printed with such short notice, they said: 'Noel and Liam wanted to do something to honour their fans who'd been given a kick in the teeth from the council.
'Their fans had gathered on the hill to listen to the show if they didn't have tickets and those in a good position could get a sight of the screens until the council bores tried to stop the fun.
'Noel and Liam wanted to make a point to their fans who couldn't get tickets so had these T-shirts made especially for them."
On Friday, Liam dedicated Definitely Maybe and Bring It Own Down to the crowds that had gathered on the mound despite the council's best efforts to shut it down.
Oasis also screened Gallagher Hill as part of their final Heaton Park show - so everyone was involved in a triumphant final Manchester gig.
Liam paid tribute to 'wonder kid' footballers Phil Foden and Ballon D'or winner Rodri, who was at Sunday's show. The screens then showed black and white footage of the fans on Gallagher Hill.
Liam said: 'Right now it's Poznan time. And want you lot on the hill to be getting involved as well.
'Even if you are Manchester United fans, I've seen you up there. Jump up and down and stop sulking.'
Noel then added: 'we're going live to Gallagher hill,' before he began the opening rift of Cigarettes and Alcohol and the Poznan began.
Acknowledging the thousands of fans who gathered on the hill now named after him and his brother, Liam told the crowd: "I've been hearing there's loads of people over there behind some hill or something. Yeah I wanna dedicate this tune to them.
"Right, so if you lot are listening on that f*****g hill, Bring It On Down" he said, before the band kicked in to the song of the same name from Definitely Maybe.
Police have confirmed they made no arrests during the final night of Oasis' epic run of five dates in Manchester's Heaton Park, however video footage has now emerged of groups of fans clashing
Camping chairs, loo roll and bottles were thrown as ticketless Oasis fans 'scrapped' on Gallagher Hill during the final gig at Heaton Park on Sunday (July 20).
During the concert, witnesses claimed tensions escalated between groups of fans. who were involved in 'football chanting', reports the Manchester Evening News.
There seemed to be clashes between Manchester City and Manchester United fans as well.
" Football fans were chanting, camping chairs were thrown," one witness recalled, adding: "Then a scrap. Then bottles. One lad got punched in the face."
They continued: "They were launching glass bottles at each other and then in the crowd. Loads of people seemed to leave where I was. It went on for about half an hour. [It was] horrible."

Chris Hughes told me how he used old-fashioned trick to make JoJo his girlfriend & revealed exact moment he fell in love
Kelly Allen was the first journalist to interview Chris about how he'd fallen for JoJo... and revealed their relationship secrets LOVED UP Chris Hughes told me how he used old-fashioned trick to make JoJo his girlfriend & revealed exact moment he fell in love ANYONE who has watched an episode of Love Island will know that dating in the modern world is complicated. From using dating apps to 'seeing each other' then going exclusive, to finally being boyfriend and girlfriend, it's a wonder how anyone gets into a relationship. 7 Chris Hughes revealed the surprising old-fashioned trick he used to take his friendship with JoJo Siwa to the next level Credit: Instagram/Chris Hughes 7 The Sun's Kelly with the celeb couple But we can reveal that Chris Hughes used a surprising old-fashioned trick to turn his friendship with JoJo Siwa into something more serious. I was the first journalist to interview Chris about how he'd fallen for JoJo - and he revealed he took inspiration from William Shakespeare to woo her. The 32-year-old put pen to paper and declared his love in writing. He told me: 'I was confused about how I felt. Then I wasn't confused anymore. I knew I needed to write it down to explain to her how I was feeling.' Perhaps it's because the horse racing commentator previously appeared on the ITV2 dating show Love Island in 2017, finishing third with then-girlfriend Olivia Attwood, that he'd had enough of the confusing modern way of dating - leading him to use more traditional methods to get the girl. The pair were thrown together while both appearing on Celebrity Big Brother in April. Having never met before, Chris, who lives in Ascot, formed an immediate bond with the 22-year-old Californian-based dancer. They both insisted it was purely platonic, especially since bisexual JoJo was in a relationship with Kath Ebbs, who identifies as non-binary. After she dumped the 27-year-old Australian actor at the Celebrity Big Brother finale party, speculation intensified about how they felt about each other. Chris and JoJo initially remained coy but after transatlantic trips to see each other, the pair took it up a level. Chris Hughes reveals baby plans with JoJo Siwa as 'besotted' hunk gushes over new love After much speculation about what was REALLY going on with them, they hard launched as a couple after Chris flew out to Mexico City, then onto Orlando to surprise her for her birthday. Chris explained: 'I went to Florida thinking 'I really like this person', but I was slightly confused about the feelings. I had already written her birthday card before I flew over. I took all these presents over for her. They were fun and sentimental gifts rather than anything of monetary value. 'But the night before her birthday, I realised my feelings had changed. I told her: 'I've got to go do something. I'll be back in half an hour.' 'I went to the hotel reception and borrowed a pen and came back up to the room. 'I took the card and opened it because I had to redo it. I sat in the toilet on my own and I rewrote the card. I knew my feelings had changed, and there was so much more that I needed to say than what I originally put in the birthday card. I wasn't confused anymore, and I knew what my heart was saying, and I wanted to tell her.' 7 Chris calls JoJo by her full name Joelle Credit: Instagram 7 The couple have been sickeningly loved-up since appearing on CBB together Credit: Instagram 7 The couple faced much speculation from fans while in the house together Credit: ITV Since then, the couple, who are having a transatlantic relationship, have been sickeningly loved up and constantly jetting back and forth to spend time with each other. MADLY IN LOVE Speaking about falling in love with JoJo, who he calls by her full name Joelle, he said: 'Some of the best relationships start as friendships. I look back at the CBB clips and could see how we gravitated towards each other. "We just wanted to be there for each other in the house. I adored the ground she walked on and the way she handled herself. How can you not love her? But it was as a friend. 'Then, towards the end of the show, I was confused about my feelings for her. And you don't know what it's going to be like on the outside. I was saying to myself: 'Come on, Chris, pull yourself together.' 'We were just friends at that stage, but we were talking all the time. I was missing her, and I felt like I needed to see her, so I flew to Mexico City to surprise her. "I was so nervous, even though I'd lived with her for three weeks. Then we ended up going to Orlando and I met her family – it was the best three days of my life. "From the minute I woke up until I went to bed, I was just so happy. It was at that moment something fully ignited inside me. "I went: 'God, I really like this person', and I knew she reciprocated it.' 7 JoJo dumped Kath Ebbs, who identifies as non-binary, at the CBB finale party Credit: Getty 7 Chris appeared on Love Island in 2017, finishing third with then girlfriend Olivia Attwood Credit: Rex Features And despite now being officially boyfriend and girlfriend and sharing constant loved-up snaps together on Instagram, the adorable old school way of communicating continues. He added: 'I like writing her letters. I don't do it every day. But when we are apart and I miss her, I write to her. I like writing, and I like to see my handwriting. I like sitting there. It gives me something to do. So when I'm at home alone, I'll get my little pad out.'
