April 15th 1989, saw the worst disaster in the history of English football; 96 Liverpool fans attending their team's FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest at Sheffield Wednesday's ground, Hillsborough, were crushed to death on the Leppings Lane terrace, and English football would never be the same again.
The disaster was basically caused by the failure of South Yorkshire Police to control a large crowd of Liverpool fans outside the Leppings Lane End, and the poor state of the ground, but it was also clear that football's total failure to learn from the numerous disasters that had afflicted it during the twentieth century, and a police force conditioned to view supporters as potential hooligans and so always expecting violence, contributed significantly to the 96 deaths and many hundreds of injuries.
Justice For The 96.
Wear Your Hillsborough Justice Campaign Badge with Pride.
The 96 victims.
These people were like you and me, just normal honest supporters very proud to be called Liverpool supporters, lucky and proud to get hold of tickets for the match.
They didn’t deserve to die that afternoon and as long as Liverpool Football Club is in existence, they will never be forgotten by you and me.
The Fight for the 96 below will go on until JUSTICE is granted.
The 96 Liverpool Fans who died at Hillsborough.
