Liam Gallagher will soon be reuniting with Oasis for the long-awaited tour, but in the meantime seemed to be having the time of his life as he watched Rico Lewis score for Manchester City
Liam Gallagher is soon going to be hard at work preparing for the event of the summer – the Oasis reunion tour. However, he seemed more than happy to prolong his absence from rehearsals for an equally important celebration.
Manchester native Liam, 52, has been a Manchester City FC supporter since childhood. Noel Gallagher also shares his passionate love of the team – despite the rift between the brothers themselves, and once explained that they support City instead of United for a hilarious reason.
“The reason is basically a family one – my dad hated his brothers. They were all Irish people who came over here and decided to support United. My dad chose City instead, just to piss them off. No other reason than that. Liam and I should by rights have been United fans,” he divulged.
While Liam is usually too busy to make it to many games in person, he managed to get down to Wembley to watch his team play Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup on April 27. Rico Lewis managed to score a goal within the first two minutes, and the musician couldn’t hide his excitement.

Liam looked as cool as ever in the stands, staying low-key in a black jacket layered over a baggy shirt, and hid his eyes behind sunglasses.
As soon as Rico scored, the musician dropped his sombre expression and jumped from his seat, raising his fists in the air as she roared alongside the rest of the crowd.
Both Gallagher brothers are known for their wild rants on X, formerly known as Twitter, and Liam’s love on Man City came into play when he took umbrage at a comment about his daughter Molly Moorish, who’s dating footballer Nat Phillips.
Liam didn’t meet Molly for the first 20 years of her life after having an affair with her mother Lisa, but has now got to know his daughter and even met the model’s boyfriend – who happens to play for Liverpool FC.
Despite meeting Phillips, Liam showed that some lines were drawn when Manchester City were beaten 3-1 by Phillips’ Reds during the 2022 Community Shield.
After Liam complained about the result, a Liverpool fan mocked in response: “Nat Phillips will be doing all kinds of celebrating tonight.” Liam was quick to snidely respond: “Not in my house he won’t.”
Not that Liam and Noel need anything to fight over, but he also targeted his brother after Noel was filmed being ‘too cool’ to take part in the Poznan during a Man City win last year. While the rest of the crowd turned around with their arms around each other, Noel stood stock still facing the cameras and didn’t acknowledge the fans celebrating around him.
A video of the moment soon did the rounds on social media, and Liam didn’t hold back from trashing his lack of footie etiquette. “Poor behaviour,” he commented on the clip to the delight of fans.
