Oasis fan hoping some might pay as grass from Knebworth tops £60k on eBay

An Oasis mega fan may get a supersonic payout after a few blades of grass he collected from a Liam Gallagher gig reached more than £60,000 on eBay. David Watson, 35, said he originally put the listing up as a “joke” while “hungover” after going to the former Oasis frontman’s show at Knebworth, Hertfordshire, on Saturday.

But three days later, the innocuous item - with a £5 starting price - had gained more than 100 bids and reached an eye-watering figure in the tens of thousands of pounds. The graphic designer quipped he plans to buy a “bouncy castle business” as it's the "only way to make money with inflation" if he receives the money for the sample, 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.
