Celtic and Manchester Utd legend Brian McClair has revealed he fed star Noel Gallagher Penguin biscuits as the fledgling rock idol washed his car.
Noel and brother Liam valeted motors belonging to famous football faces including Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Gallaghers would work at United’s old training ground, The Cliff, and also at Manchester City’s Platt Lane training ground.
McClair, who spent 11 years at Old Trafford following a spell in Glasgow, said Noel would munch sweet treats as he carried out cleaning duties.
The 57-year-old, nicknamed Choccy, said: “Liam and Noel were part of a car cleaning company that was owned by a lad who came from the same part of Manchester as them.
“They were all big City fans and they managed to persuade Alex Ferguson to allow them to come to the Cliff to clean the cars.
“Noel had a penchant for Penguin biscuits with his coffee if he ever came round to the house to valet the cars there. I don’t recall Noel ever saying anything other than thanks for his coffee and Penguin biscuits.”
Speaking on the new Life With Brian: The Brian McClair Podcast, he also told he was given an early Oasis demo tape.
He added: “It was good but at no point did you have any idea of the mark they were going to make on music and culture of the time.”
