Justice for the 96

 

This photo moves me to tears. Today is the 23rd anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster and every year no matter how many times i see the images and footage of that day it’s like i am seeing it for the first time.

It’s a subject that moves me like no other, i can’t think of it for long before i am in tears. Being from Liverpool, being born here i don’t have to go far to find someone i know who was personally effected in someway that day. Seeing the listed 96 names on the memorial outside Anfield, the sheer loss of life on that great a scale, young life also, a true tradegy.

It affects me this much i think because as a Liverpool fan who attends games with friends and family i realise how close to home it is. On April 15 1989 there were 96 Liverpool fans who left their homes to watch the game, left their houses and said goodbye to their mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters, like we all do each week… Only on that day, it would be the last time that 96 people got to see their loved ones.

The aftermath of the disaster was a disgrace, a cowardly and disgusting ‘newspaper’ spread horrific lies about the causes of the disaster and the conduct of the fans, to this day there has been no blame on the incompetent policing that lead to the deadly crush and this has to change. As a fan, today my heart goes out to every family member andfriend who suffered a loss that day and we want you to know that no fan will ever rest until justice is done for the 96 who lost ther lives and you are always remembered… as our cub crest proudly displays ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’
