Noel and Ricky hit it off Dianne Bourne 9/ 5/2007 ONE is a big hitter, the other a maestro of big hits. So when boxer Ricky 'The Hitman' Hatton and Oasis hitmaker Noel Gallagher met for the first time at the weekend, it was a match made in heaven. The pair - who share a passion for Manchester City - met this weekend when they were both asked to appear on Granada's Soccer Night to preview the big derby match against United. And, by all accounts, they got on like a house on fire. Football chat soon turned to fighting talk - and I hear that Ricky has invited Noel to his eagerly-awaited fight in Las Vegas next month against Mexico's Jose Luis Castillo. In return, Noel autographed Ricky's Manchester City guitar and promised to get his brother Liam Gallagher to sign it too. Ricky, of course, is a huge Oasis fan - and plays the band's music to gear him up for his fights. He met Noel's brother Liam in a chance encounter in the United States a couple of years ago. So meeting Noel was a dream come true for the Hyde boxer. Oasis Ricky's spokesman Paul Speak tells me: "Ricky is a lifelong Oasis fan. "He first met Liam Gallagher totally by accident when he was in New York two years ago. Ricky was returning home from watching a fight between Floyd Mayweather and Arturo Gatti in Atlantic City. "He stopped off in New York and went into an Irish bar in Manhattan, where Liam was celebrating following an Oasis concert. "And when Oasis played the City of Manchester Stadium a few years ago, Ricky was on holiday and missed the concert - so Liam dedicated a song to Ricky. "But Ricky had never met Noel, so when he heard that Noel was doing the Granada show with him he was over the blue moon. "Noel has told Ricky that he is going to try and get out to his fight against Jose Luis Castillo on June 23 at the Thomas and Mack centre in Vegas. "However, he did say it would depend on how his girlfriend Sara McDonald is, as she is expecting their first baby." Sadly, there wasn't quite the perfect conclusion to the weekend for the new pals. The derby match that brought the two together in Manchester saw the Reds edge out the Blues 1-0.
