TOOTHLESS HARDMAN

Last updated : 05 May 2004 By editor

'Drunken Liam, 31, lost his front teeth in the Wild West-style brawl at a German hotel. Two of his minders were knocked out.

It also emerged yesterday that the fight began after the singer and his pals flicked PEANUTS at the five men.

Police at first indicated the musician had mistakenly picked on mafia-linked pimps — whose table was booked under the name of a notorious local villain.

But Munich’s chief prosecutor Anton Winkler yesterday confirmed the five had no mob connections — and that one sells computers.

Cops did not give the full names of the five, aged 32 to 38.

But their leader — muscular Christian W, 38 — is said to have floored two Oasis bodyguards with a brass standing ashtray.

Now the businessmen are likely to be charged with GBH over the fight, which saw much of the nightspot’s furniture smashed.

Liam, who at one point stood on the club’s stage swinging a microphone stand like a battleaxe, could also face proceedings, said Mr Winkler.

Other band members are also under investigation and could be summonsed.

Liam, who was said to have kicked a policeman between the legs, was in the club with Allen White, Steven Allen and Philip Bevan Smith in December 2002.'
