I was born the year it happened, and since my birth the Hillborough Disaster has been something of an enigma to me; very rarely will you hear a first hand account of what actually happened on that deceptively beautiful day in South Yorkshire. In recent years, after research from myself, I have managed to understand what happened on that fateful day and what concequences it had on football in Britain, and why the word "Hillsborough" means so much to so many people. Not being alive at the time of the disaster will not prevent me from paying my respects and remembering those who were lost.
The scenes at Anfield today, beautifully covered by the BBC, almost bought a tear to my eye, you done the 96 proud guys and girls, you really did. Death is a word that should never ever be used when talking about football, but it makes me proud that when such a thing does happen, Britain, as supporters of different clubs, can united in respect and remember those 96 innocent lives that were taken away from us and more importantly their families.
Precious lives lost, precious lives wasted.
Now go out there and win some silverware for those who died; it's no doubt what every single one of them would have wanted, I hope you do them proud!
Never forgotten. You'll Never Walk Alone!
Many thanks for your respectful .
This may not be the place or the time and if that is so please forgive me but your team was caught up in a near tragedy at Hillsborough in the early 80's when they contested a FA Cup semi Final (against WBA or Wolves I think).
I vaguely remember fans being escorted from that fateful Leppings Lane end and watching the game sat around the perimeter of the pitch. Please ask some of your fellow older fans if they remember it as Hillsborough was sadly a disaster waiting to happen and it so very nearly did in 81 or 82 involving Spurs.........
Been today to Anfield and was touched (as I always am to be honest) whenever we take time to pay our respects to the victims of Hillsborough.
I don't know whether it's because it's 20 years or maybe the passage of time has helped people affected to speak out about it but the coverage has been sensitive, respectful and informative and I commend the BBC and those people brave enough to face the camera's. It's obvious to those who watched FF today ( I didn't as I was en route to the game) that it has left a deep impression and as I've watched the interviews on the net tonight it's effect on players, commentators and everybody involved in football is still marked and deep.

RIP to the 96.
As an overseas fan, my life has not been touched in the same way as many of you here who lost family and friends, but I take time to remember your loss and their memory each year, with real feeling.
My prayers are with you all.

class service, absolutely gut wrenching, was holding it together til she pointed out Rafa and everyone started chanting his name, seeing him cry brought it out of me. I cracked.
