Noel Lured Del Piero To Join Manchester City

Noel asked me to join City - Del Piero

Juventus striker Alessandro Del Piero has admitted he was lured to join Manchester City by Oasis star Noel Gallagher.

"I've been here 14 years and have a strong bond," he said. "I owed it to the Agnellis [the owners]. I couldn't leave the Old Lady like this.

"Noel Gallagher did ask me to go to Manchester because we're friends through music. I dee-jay and we have the same record label. He gave me my gold disc and came to the World Cup semi-final. He's my lucky mascot."
