Stuart Pearce, a former England left-back, was known for his passion for punk rock music. His interest included Oasis, leading him to attend their famous gigs. On the day Nottingham Forest played Manchester United, Pearce and his teammates seized the chance to witness Oasis perform at Maine Road in April 1996. They traveled in a minibus, enjoyed the concert, and returned home late into the night. Oasis later performed iconic shows at Knebworth Park in August 1996, closely following Pearce’s participation in Euro 96 with the national team.
Scot Gemmill was the first one to mention Oasis to me. He saw them play in Derby in a really small club called The Wherehouse in November 1993.
For the Maine Road gig, as the football and music gods would have it, Forest were at Man United that day, so we got a minibus across town and saw them.
We watched the gig, then went to The Hacienda; we got back to Nottingham at about 6am. It was a fantastic day, and the concert was amazing.
Oasis' iconic Knebworth Park gigs took place in August 1996, shortly after Pearce starred for the Three Lions at Euro 96.
