I remember that day also. Back then I was always playing football, totally obsessed for it, I got back from playing a match to see how liverpool got on and I was well miffed, why is it called off? Then they said crowd trouble and straight away I thought hooligans, these idiots do my head then of course I found out exactly what had happened and was gutted. News reports were sketchy as they didnt know exactly what happened either and exactly how many were killed.
Later on they released the Hillsborough documentary in which my missus watched. Shes not really a fan of football but she watched it and had a tear in her eye because of what happened. Her disgust at the police and the sorrow for the familys that had lost there loved ones hit her hard. Her family, those who watch football, all support man utd but what happened at hillsborough captured her heart and she has a soft spot for liverpool.
Who knows, maybe one day the justice will come for the 96.
