Tony Bland died later, albeit as a direct result of his injuries sustained in the disaster, so wasn't included.Originally posted by Antepli Ejderha View PostComment

The law at the time only included victims who died within a year and a day of the event.Comment

An interesting point of view in this week's Spectator - "there was no Hillsborough cover up", from the counsel for the two policemen
https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/...rough-cover-up
"There was no Hillsborough cover up"
Today's news, SYP (i.e. that's me and any other of our council tax payers) and WMP (that's their council tax payers) agree compensation to 61 people for their roles in the Hillsborough cover up

Anyone out there a season ticket holder at Anfield and got a seat anywhere near this man?
(PS. Don't read the Spectator article, it'll make you angry. And none of us like each other when we're angry)

Andrew Devine has died, making him Hillsborough's 97th victim. Brain damaged after being starved of oxygen in the crush, he lived for a further 32 years.

34 years ago today now. Still no real justice for the 97, but official absolution and recognition at least of the incompetence and the awful lies told at the time. Never forgotten, never forgiven, never buy the Sun.Last edited by Rogin the Armchair fan; 15-04-2023, 10:32.Comment

I only knew this because this is the famous 5-0 thrashing, so I scoured YouTube for the game. The YNWA is very moving.Originally posted by Antepli Ejderha View Post
Edit: here it is in English with John Helm. Annoyingly they edited out YNWA but kept the applause.
