David Beckham On Oasis, The Stone Roses And Manchester

David Beckham has said that he had to keep his love of Oasis a secret while at Manchester United because it was 'frowned upon' as the majority of the band supported Manchester City.

He told SoccerBible “I used to go to the odd Oasis gig even though it was frowned upon them being City fans and me being a United fan and a United player. But being in Manchester in the nineties, it was just part of the culture.”

He added that he regularly meets up with Noel Gallagher, as well as members of The Stone Roses.

“I loved those bands, but as soon as we’re together all we talk about is football and it’s the first thing they want to talk about. I sit with Noel and all he wants to talk about is how crap United were and how great City are. Same with Browny and a couple of the other guys. Mani is such a massive United fan. He loves a chat. He doesn’t struggle with words. All he ever wants to talk about is the youth team, reserve team, ‘99’.”

“The nineties were such a massive moment for Manchester culture, and that’s when I discovered how much I loved the music.”

Below is a video from September 10th 2004, when Ian Brown and Noel Gallagher performed 'Keep What Ya Got' on the Jonathan Ross Show.

Liam Gallagher On Richard Ashcroft, Ian Brown, Lee Mavers And Shaun Ryder

Liam Gallagher gave his opinion on the frontmen from other British bands to Radio X in a recent interview.

He said: "Of our time, Richard Ashcroft is pretty cool. I like him, I love him. Obviously Ian Brown is f***ing majestic. Lee Mavers is f***ing beautiful and Shaun Ryder is just mega. So there are lots and lots of f***ing great frontmen."

Liam Gallagher On Noel, Oasis, Jose Mourinho, Richard Ashcroft And More

Oasis legend Liam Gallagher has given fans a rare insight into his career, life and mind during a hilarious Q&A session.

Chatting to Radio X’s Johnny Vaughan in front of an intimate audience at the Etihad Stadium, the home of his beloved Manchester City, Liam was on outspoken top form as he explained why he really isn't a proper Manc and gave his thoughts on United boss Jose Mourinho, the scary clown craze, sounding like John Lennon, his favourite cheese (Cheddar), wearing leopard print Ugg slippers and why Oasis isn't getting back together.

Quaffing Taittinger champagne, he also described two of his most rock and roll moments - doing the loop the loop in a private jet over the Golden Gate Bridge and heckling film star Hugh Grant in front of his ex girlfriend Liz Hurley in Los Angeles.

Seated on a plush brown leather sofa, Burnage's finest was joined by Oasis guitarist Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs for the Q&A in front an audience of just 200 people, in aid of the Make Some Noise campaign for disadvantaged youngsters by Radio X owners Global.

Fans paid £150 to join the Manchester music icon in the aptly named Legends Lounge.

Earlier this month the rocker flew in to Manchester for a premiere in London for a special screening of the documentary film Supersonic.

Here are some of the highlights of the Radio X Q&A:

On Jose Mourinho (who he described as a "little ****")

"He already looks like it's the end of the season."

Brother Noel and why Oasis isn't getting back together.

"For someone who washed his hands of it he's the one banging on about it.

"I'm ready to go but our kid bangs on like I've stabbed his cat or summat. The thing is he wants to be a solo star. The reason why the band isn't back together is because Noel needs to be surrounded by yes men and I ain't one.

"People need to stop asking him when the band is getting back together. He'll get bored so stop asking him."

The scary clown craze.

"I think they're alright man. I don't mind 'em. I like a clown. Some of them put a lot of effort in."

On THAT scene in Supersonic when the band performed badly because of crystal meth.

"I enjoyed myself. That **** happened a lot."

Brotherly love.

"I remember being drunk as a 15-year-old. I came in at 11pm, couldn't find the lights so ****** all over his stereo."

Singing style.

"I sound like John Lennon. I get more power from not holding the microphone."

The longest he has ever stayed up for.

"The 90s"

Favourite footwear.

"I've got Uggs. They're leopard print and they're the best ******* slippers, slippers when you want to get locked out of the door."

On not being a proper Manc

"I wouldn't say I'm a Manc. I've lived in London 20 years. I'm a universal dream."

The best band frontman, apart from himself of course.

"Richard Ashcroft is pretty cool and Ian Brown is fantastic. And Shaun Ryder is mega."

Being banned by Cathay Pacific flights over a row about a scone.

"I woke up and everyone was eating a scone. I didn't have a scone or a pickaxe."

Liam Gallagher Posed For Photos With Fans At The Stone Roses Gig In Manchester Yesterday

Liam posed for photos with delighted fans watching the band at the Etihad Stadium.

Oasis rocker Liam Gallagher caused a stir among fans as he turned up in Manchester yesterday to watch The Stone Roses.

The Live Forever and Wonderwall singer delighted revellers turning out to watch the Roses at the Etihad Stadium by posing for photographs.

In one cheeky snap he was seen licking a window as a fan looks on. In other photos he showed off a rather splendid colourful coat, his hair grown back into his trademark longer style.

One fan enthused in a photo shared on Instragram: “En route to the Roses and I meet this legend!”

Another fan, while pointing at Liam, says: “So this happened.”

Fans spread the word on Twitter that he was in town to see the Waterfall hitmakers, who play their final gig at the Etihad tonight, saying: “It’s official - Liam Gallagher is in Manchester to see The Stone Roses.”

Another tweeted: “First time in Manchester and I meet Liam Gallagher. Excited for the Stone Roses tonight. Everything is looking up.”

And even if they didn’t meet the actual Liam Gallagher, some fans thought they might have done, with one tweeting: “It’s hard to try and spot Liam Gallagher at a Stone Roses gig at the Etihad when everybody looks like Liam Gallagher. #stoneroses.”

Liam wasn’t the only Manc legend in town to watch the Stone Roses. Former Manchester United player David Beckham was there on Wednesday night.

Before playing This Is The One, Ian Brown announced to the crowd “This one is dedicated to Mr Beckham.”

After the show David and his 17-year-old son Brooklyn popped out for a curry in Longsight.

So this happened #liamgallagher #oasis
