Liam Gallagher Is John’s Latest Recruit











Pop megastar Liam Gallagher has become the latest in a long line of celebrities to back a campaigning football team.

The Oasis singer was in Glasgow to launch his new clothes shop, Pretty Green, and was besieged by hundreds of fans and paparazzi.

But that didn’t stop Renfrewshire United boss John Plott fighting his way through the heaving throng to ‘have a word’.

He told the Paisley Daily Express: “I wasn’t really surprised how busy it was, to be honest.

“The opening of the shop had been cancelled in December because of the weather and the new date had been well publicised in the papers and on radio.

“The one thing I couldn’t believe though was the amount of Liam ‘clones’ that were there. It was really spooky because everyone looked just like him!”

But John, who campaigns against bigotry and racism through his football club, managed a word with one of his musical idols and, more importantly, grabbed the opportunity to hand over one of the famous blue and green United tops – with ‘Wonderball’ emblazoned across the front.

He said: “Ingram Street was packed and we must have waited there for over an hour, but it was well worth it.

“I didn’t think we’d get near him when I saw the crowds but we’ve never given up in our lives and managed to fight our way to the front.

“When he got out his car I stepped forward and told him a bit about the team.

“He said, ‘that sounds great, mate’ and I passed him the strip. He said thanks and wished us good luck before making his way though the crowd into his shop.

“I thought ‘Wonderball’ was appropriate as one of Oasis’ biggest hits was ‘Wonderwall’.”

In the past, Plott and co have presented a strip to ex-Manchester City boss Mark Hughes, footballer Craig Bellamy, and Chelsea captain John Terry.
