On 12 May 1996, Oasis' Liam Gallagher took on Blur's Damon Albarn in charity football match at Mile End stadium. Soccer Six was organised in benefit of Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Centre, but headlines saw it as a chance to settle the Oasis/Blur rivalry, known as the Battle of Britpop, once and for all. Liam Gallagher was seen getting in the face of Damon Albarn, but the intimidation tactics clearly didn't work. Blur won the match 2-0.
