Recalling the incident and what happened next, Gascoigne told the Anything Goes with James English podcast : "I was in London and someone said 'Liam Gallagher's in the restaurant - posh as fuck'. "And I went 'All right', so I go to the taxi and I went up and I went 'Hi, Liam'. "[It was the] first time I'd met him, he went 'How are you, you all right, Gazza? Sit down'. "And he had a big fillet steak in front of him and had a couple of drinks and he went 'Do you want a steak?'. "I went 'Nah, nah, I'm not hungry'. He went 'All right, just two seconds, I'm going to the toilet'. "He went to the toilet and I fucking ate his steak. And he comes back and he went 'Where's my fucking steak?'. "And I rubbed my stomach and I went 'Ah, cheers'. And he went 'Fuck it'. "So I thought 'He's away to order another steak'. And he comes back with a fire extinguisher and just fucking mullered us all over. "Wow, Jesus Christ. He just sprayed it all over his madam, just all over the table. [He] didn't give a fuck - just put it down, then we just started eating again, having a few drinks." Despite the restaurant bust-up, Gazza, 53, appears to be on good terms with Gallagher, 48. He added: "Yeah, I had some laughs with him. He's a good guy as well, fucking talented. So I've had the opportunity to meet a lot of famous people but I just treat them like everyone you meet. "I just feel like a normal guy lucky enough to be good with his feet."

From I was with Oasis from the start – they’re a band that wouldn’t exist in 2025 by James Brown (formerly of Loaded Magazine):

The most rock ’n’ roll time I had with them was interviewing Liam in 2005 when our lives had moved on a bit and the wild men of rock ’n’ roll and men’s mags had both become dads. He was most excited to hear about me taking my son to Diggerland, a theme park in Rochester Kent, which was a muddy field full of yellow JCBs loved by the Bob the Builder generation.  After our interview, I took him over to the Groucho Club to meet Gazza. When an incredibly inebriated Gazza pleaded with Liam to sing for him and Liam refused things started to get slightly tense until I started the opening line of the theme to SpongeBob SquarePants, which I knew Liam watched. He immediately joined in and Gazza was delighted, but Liam had the last laugh when he let loose with a fire extinguisher and pelted out of the club as we both set off to pick our kids up from school. It was hard to encounter the Gallaghers and not come away with something worth retelling.
