Wednesday 8 June 2022 07:01 PM Oasis fan puts blades of GRASS from Liam Gallagher's Knebworth gig on eBay as ... trends now
An Oasis mega fan who put blades of grass he collected from Liam Gallagher's Knebworth gig on eBay as 'a joke' has reached over £65,000 in bids.
David Watson, 35, put the grass 'in his shorts' while he was watching the former Oasis frontman's show at Knebworth, Hertfordshire, on Saturday.
When he returned home, 'hungover' Mr Watson listed the item on eBay with a £5 starting price - but was left stunned when the item had gained more than 100 bids just three days later.
The graphic designer quipped he plans to buy a 'bouncy castle business' if he receives the money for the flora, which he collected close to the concert's main stage.
But he's not 'confident' the final winner will shell out for the grass - and said he would instead settle for a shout from his hero, Liam.
He said: 'I jokingly said I'm going to pick some grass and put it on eBay, and when we were watching one of the acts, I grabbed some and put it in my shorts.
'When I got back, I whacked it on for a fiver, and now it's accrued tens of thousands.'

He added: 'There's a bloke selling his bouncy castle business for £20,000, and I told my girlfriend if I get paid, I'll buy that as it's the only way to make money with inflation at the moment.
'But I don't think they're going to pay out to be honest. I think it might be people having a wind-up, and I don't want to be confident.
'If Liam gave me a shout out, that would obviously be great though.'
