From the Liverpool Echo today:

THE ECHO can exclusively reveal that Rafa Benitez today donated £96,000 to the Hillsborough Family Support Group as he gets set to leave Merseyside.

The former Liverpool FC boss, who was today confirmed as the new manager at Inter Milan, handed over the cheque to Margaret Aspinall, chairwoman of the HFSG, as the rest of the committee watched on this afternoon.

In a low key visit to the group's office, Benitez wished the group well and told them he hoped they would get the justice and the truth they are campaigning for.

Mrs Aspinall said: "It was just nice to know that he wanted to see us before he went."

Respect always Rafa Benitez, legend :buttrock

This is what we have lost !! A man with more dignity and honour in his little finger than the idiots running this club have in their combined bodies. As others have said he ' got it '. He got what we are about and he embraced it.
He will always be a part of this club , no matter who comes next , and will always be made welcome in this city.
God Bless you Rafa and Montse. :buttrock
