An Oasis fan has made £65,000 after picking up blades of grass at a Liam Gallagher concert.

Grass from Liam Gallagher's Knebworth gig has sold for £65,000

Grass from Liam Gallagher's Knebworth gig has sold for £65,000

David Watson says he listed the grass on eBay while "hungover" after attending the rocker's sell-out show at Knebworth last weekend.

The item had a £5 starting price but attracted over 100 bids and has now reached the eye-watering figure.

Watson, from the West Midlands, is now planning to buy a "bouncy castle business" if he receives the money from the grass but he doubts that he will get to pocket the cash.

The graphic designer 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."

Watson 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."
