27-years after 96 football fans lost their lives during the FA Cup Semi Final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough Stadium, a jury has concluded they were ‘unlawfully killed.’

On the 15 April 1989, 96 men, women, and children aged between 10-67 said goodbye to loved ones before heading to Hillsborough to watch Liverpool play Nottingham Forest in the semi-final of the FA Cup.

They never came home.

54,000 were there the day that hundreds of people were crushed in the carnage of Leppings Lane. There lives were changed forever. As was every football fan in the UK. I remember watching the disaster unfurl on TV. At first I thought it was hooliganism. Then I saw the bodies. Advertising boards were used as stretchers for the dead and the dying.
