Best Oasis memory;
Went to watch them at the Nynex Arena (now the M.U.E.N) with the Chemical Brothers as support.
I was suffering the worst hangover ever. Still hungover on the Sunday of the gig from my Grandad’s funeral on the Wednesday. I’d left the wake to watch us beat Wimbledon 1-0.
Anyway, I couldn’t listen to the Chemical Brothers. My head was banging.
Drank myself through it then watched Oasis blow the roof off. Came out and was waiting for a taxi on Market Street. One of the lads put a quid in those big fuck off Mars vending machines. Nothing came out so he banged it and about three quid came out. We all had a go and were making loads of money.
By the time our taxi came, I’d decided that a run up and flying kick was the order of the day. As I crashed into it, I heard a beep. Our taxi was here. My Uncle Alan shouted out of the window “Oi dickhead! Get in this fucking car now.”
Never told my old man though. RIP Alan Henning.
