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."

Kelly Osbourne shares sweet 'best ever' moment with dad Ozzy days after death
Kelly Osbourne continues to mourn the death of her father, Ozzy Osbourne, and took to social media to share a sweet moment between the pair that was labelled "one of the best Ozzy moments ever' As the world comes to terms with the tragic death of Ozzy Osbourne, his daughter Kelly Osbourne has shared one of her favourite moments with her iconic dad. In an Instagram upload, the 40-year-old shows off the father and daughter duo enjoying a touching moment in a post labelled: "One of the best Ozzy moments ever!" The clip was reshared on Kelly's Instagram Stories and showed the family members enjoying a road trip together. In the upload, which came from realityTV show Jack & Ozzy's World Detour, Kelly takes to the driver's seat of the huge campervan. As Ozzy enters and sits in the passenger seat, wearing his usual dark attire, Kelly tells him she has a "song in my head and I'm going to have to play it for you". The Prince of Darkness appears intrigued as his daughter sets up the song. While Ozzy is strapping himself in for the ride, George Ezra's tune Paradise begins playing over the vehicle's speakers. Kelly begins singing along as her dad listens intently. After a short while it appears as though the tune has caught the Black Sabbath man's attention as he begins to dance and bounce in his seat. Beaming a sweet smile in Kelly's direction as she continues to sing the pair are then seen in a cute moment as they both dance together on the journey, copying each other's hand movements. The clip ends with Kelly heard telling her dad she loves him. "I love you more," he sweetly responds. Ozzy died earlier in the week aged 76 after a battle with Parkinson's disease. Days after his death was announced, Kelly broke her social media silence with a heartbreaking comment. In her upload, she described the rock legend as "the best friend I ever had". The father and daughter were inseparable, with Kelly staying by her father's side during his final days. Just two days before his death, she shared a heartwarming video of the musician and his grandson - her young son - at the breakfast table. Kelly wrote on Instagram: "I feel so unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had." The reference is a line from his hit tune Changes. In 2003, Kelly and Ozzy re-recorded the track together. The song was co-written by Ozzy with his bandmates and was first released by Black Sabbath in 1972. Kelly's version with her dad revised the lyrics to reflect her bond with her dad. The song was a No. 1 hit in the U.K., and they became just the second father-daughter pair to top the charts, after Frank and Nancy Sinatra in 1967. A source shared with People about Ozzy's last moments. They said: "Ozzy's final days were spent in England, surrounded by family, music and in the place he called home. He was in peace."
