Liam Gallagher has spoken out about his time working with Eric Cantona on the video for the 2019 track ‘Once’ in an exclusive clip shared with NME – you can watch it above.Adopting a hilarious impression of the cult football hero in the clip from the forthcoming one-hour Sky special called Liam Gallagher: 48 Hours At Rockfield which is due to air later this month, the former Oasis frontman recalled the first time he met the ex-Manchester United star, in a video you can watch above.“I met him at a club in Paris with two mates who were United fans and had a drink with him and he turned round and went ‘Are you one of the Gallagher boys?’ I said: ‘I am’,” Gallagher said.“And then ‘Once’ came out and I seen him on Instagram, listening to it saying it was his favourite song so I got someone to call him and went ‘Wouldn’t he be great to be in the video?’ I don’t like doing videos but we asked him would he be in it and he said yeah.“So I said, ‘How much fucking money do you want to be in it?’ and he went ‘I do not want nothing.’ So I went, ‘Right let us know what fucking flight you want’ [and he goes] ‘I will get my own flight’.
Cheers, tears and celebrations as football returns to Gigg Lane for first time in three years

Three years after the heartbreak of Bury FC being kicked out of the Football League, the beautiful game has once again returned to Gigg Lane. On a gloriously sunny April afternoon, hundreds of fans filed in through the turnstiles to watch two teams play football in the stadium for the first time since 2019.
It was the promotion chasing Bury FC Foundation Women's Team who were given the honour and they will play each of their last three games of the season at Gigg Lane. It is hoped that men’s football can also return to the venue in the not too distant future.
Outside the ground, ahead of the fixture against Fleetwood Town Wrens, there were a number of comfortingly familiar sights that were once taken for granted but have been sorely missed; fans waved flags, wore scarves around their necks and queued up at the burger van, before making their way inside.

The East Stand, behind one of the goals, was the only stand open on the day and close to 500 fans were greeted with a celebratory atmosphere. One of those in attendance was Ian Warburton and he was visibly delighted as he gazed around the stadium and took it all in.
He told the Manchester Evening News : “It’s a very emotional day. We’ve come back into the ground and all the fans have done absolutely superb getting this to where it is.
“There’s hurdles in the way, which are being put there by people who shouldn’t, but this shows that 500 people for a ladies’ game, first day back at Gigg we love it. It’s Bury.”
Talking about the prospect of getting men’s football back at the stadium, Ian admitted that he would be there to watch whatever level it may be.
