I’d been to Hillsborough and stood on the Leppings lane terrace about 2 months before the disaster when my team Manchester United played Sheffield Wednesday. We got directed to the corner pen, the one by the banked terrace in the corner, because the central tunnel was closed off. This was about 2.40-2.45pm. We were on a good run of form at the time and we always took a lot of fans to Hillsborough back then so we probably had about 15,000 at the game. You could see where problems could occur. On the day of the disaster me and my Dad were standing on the Stretford end, watching United getting beaten by Derby County, and we heard bits and pieces about some trouble at the Hillsborough semi final by people with little radios. It wasn’t until we were on our way home that things became clearer. I always remember my Dad saying “ I bet it’s overcrowding at that bloody end where we were “. I’ll always remember him saying that. There had been problems at the previous 3 semi finals at that ground as well. The 1988 semi final, Liverpool fans wrote to the FA complaining of overcrowding on the Leppings lane terrace. One bloke said his umbrella snapped in half because the overcrowding was that bad. It was a death trap and hadn’t had a valid safety certificate since 1979.
RIP to all the 97 people who lost their lives in Hillsborough tragedy💔
Ye rip sad thing is even more can die still from side effects of the crush
Isnt it 96
At least they are with god
@@thewhambam not even saying a good thing about it
@@masonliwali6516 so are u
I'm an American who saw the horrific pictures back in 1989. I couldn't get it out of my mind. The disaster absolutely gutted and haunted me. I took the time to read about the victims and their families.
Fast forward to 2015 when I happened upon information about the Independent Panel. I read every single page of their conclusion. I watched and waited for the end result of the inquiry in 2016. Yes, I cried like a baby.
I've felt an affinity for Scousers since 1989. Decades later and from thousands of miles away, you will, I promise, never walk alone.
Justice for the 97, never forgotten. Not a Liverpool fan but they have all my sympathy and backing, including the more recent champions league final disaster in Paris.
It wasn't "drama" it was a tragedy that will never be forgotten in our nation
Knitpicking words. Drama Queen.
So what would u say about the small kids killed u supporting these scum organizations is the problem
@@m1zxry_tt832 There's a huge difference between drama and tragedy. A drama would've been a few fans got hurt, but nothing very serious. 97 people lost their lives for just going to a football match. Those who were there and the families and friends of those who died will live with this for the rest of their lives. It vety definitely meets the full definition of the word tragedy.
@@m1zxry_tt832 drama ? Please have you ever met anyone that was actually there do you think any of them where the same before going to a football match NO!
It was more retardation, but the brits are great at that
RIP to the 97. I'm 66 and a huge Liverpool fan who lives in Canada and this tragedy will live with me for the rest of my life, so at this time my family and I send our heartfelt sympathy to all the family and friends who lost their love ones in this tragic event. They will never be forgotten. GOD BLESS!!!!!! YNWA.
And now we are gonna see Liverpool VS notheham forest this season
This is perfect for the memory 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Will never be an apology that is high enough, JFT97. YNWA. ❤
My family from Liverpool, we now live in the town next door, majority still live their. Been many games, but nothing compares to the passion the fans have for getting justice & keeping the memory alive. Everton & Liverpool fans are rivals, but will ALWAYS come together to support each other.
It was a tragic day may their soul continue to Rest in perfect peace
Despite all the changes this is the reason why I would never go there, It just breaks my heart. 😞 💔
My heart goes out to everyone that suffered on that terrible day....R.I.P to everyone that passed. God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️
The sad thing that this was years in the making. The hooliganism of the 1970's and 80's that put these barriers in the first place. The lack of police presence and there simply just wasn't enough. The lack of coordination and the list goes on and on. The sad thing is for big changes to be made usually someone has to die and sadly a whole bunch of people who were just wanting to watch the game died needlessly.
Alot of which these same scumbag were the reason for. Liverpool fans murdered scores of Juventus fans in horrible circumstances thats why they get treated like animals because they were
Just happened again in Korea. Crushes are one of the worst ways to go, because they are almost always easily preventable and largely caused by lack of preparation by authorities at events.
@@punkgrl325 yeah and there was someone who filmed a 360 view of it and didn't even realize that a crush was happening. It's just you use those posts to figure out how to prevent the next one and be very strict on crowd control especially at festival. You got to spend the money on police and security to make that happen.
My mum knew several people who people that game, and to think they could have been in my life, and they were taken out of hers, and the families of those people she knew. RIP to the 97 who lost there lives that fateful day, you'll never walk alone.
Only partial justice has been done. And that was after the Hillsborough independent panel report in 2012 which exonerated the Liverpool supporters of any blame concerning the day of the disaster & that The South Yorkshire Police were to blame as were Sheffield Wednesday FC who never renued the safety licence after the 81 semi final where Tottenham fans were crushed And injured.
And also the verdict that overturned the deaths as accident to unlawful killing as of 2021 to 97 people (Andrew Devine died after being on life support for over 30 years in July 2021) becoming the 97th victim.
But still knowbody has ever been charged and help accountable for there actions on the day Super Intendant Duckenfield. Bernard Murray. SWFC club safety officer Mackrell. The list goes on. Oh and the sanitization of Police statements on what they did on the day. Many of the normal PC's were forced to change there statements of what they did that day or it was done without there knowledge and a lot of normal Bobbies did help on that day and suffered PTSD just like the Fans.
Right from the start of the story of Liverpool fans breaking down Gate C when it was Duckenfield who ordered it to be opened was the beginning of the lie. And story's of drunken tickitless fans arriving at the ground late. Also the media reaction from the Camera men turning there cameras around from photographing the game to taking pictures of dead & dying people crushed up against the perimeter fences ignoring there cries & screams for help ,watching while people's faces turned white and lips And nostrils turned blue.
And also in particularly The Sun Newspapers front page headlines about Liverpool fans pocketing the dead ,and assaulting Police officers and urinating on officers trying to help .An absolutely abhorrent and downright lies to smear the fans reputation and to sway public opinions on what they called " The Truth"
What the Liverpool fans ,victims & family's got was only that the deaths were unlawful killings and that they were not to blame. This as well as being the longest running legal case in British history is also the BIGGEST cover up and injustice of the highest order. Superintendent Duckenfield should have gone to prison for this as quite a few other high ranking officers should of too. Duckenfield just escaped in the Private prosecution when the jury was hung (that's a 50/50 guilty/not guilty decision made by the dury) and has again I think in 2019 got off again.
Please read the Hillsborough Independent Panel Report. It's available online to the public.
I am not a Liverpool fan I support Carlisle United. And was 11 years old when the Hillsborough Disaster happened. It was my first year of watching Football and at the time being so young you know it's bad but are too young to understand it. And have your childhood to live. But ever since the 20th anniversary I've taken a real interest and watched just about ever documentary ,footage available. And also read Phil Scratons book "The Truth" and read the entire Independent Panel Report.
As well as the survivors story's on the Hillsborough Disaster website that are more horrific than this video and harrowing to read.
Without the shear determination of Professor Phil Scraton & later culture Secretary Andy Burnham (On the 20th anniversary) when Liverpool fans erupted into "Justice For tge 96" I doubt we would have had the Hillsborough Independent Panel..so huge respect to both men who fraught for the victims & family's justice.
A lot of comments on this video like others are bigated , ignorant or darn right offensive. So before posting your comments do some proper research. And post something of value out of respect for the 97 dead. The victims family's who have fought tirelessly for justice. And those people who have died because of suicide or early deaths due to stress as there are many attributed to the worst sporting disaster in the UK and the BIGGEST misscarage of justice or injustice not only in England but in the entire world in sporting terms.
It has nothing realy to do with Football anymore as times have changed and Hillsborough legacy is that we got safe all seated stadiums for the top two Leagues in English Football.
But its about human lives ,normal , honest & hard working people who have loved ,lost ,suffered and fought tirelessly for JUSTICE For the 97.
Am doing law and after reading the case of white v south West Yorkshire Police a suit that followed after Hillsborough incident. Just brought me here to learn what actually happened.
Rip to all 97 people who died in the incident. 💔
The most significant problems were
1. That dividing the stand into pens combined with the narrow tunnel and the fence at front, basically turned the pen into a death trap with little to no escape.
2. Look at every FA cup semifinal played at Hillsborough. For instance Coventry-Leeds 1987. That stand was far far beyond its actual capacity and should have been reduced or rebuilt.
I have zero understanding for why the concept of standing terraces were at fault. You could technically achieve the same result in an elevator or a train just by having too many people in there. If you have a certain capacity with seats, you would get the exact same result by just having a standing terrace with the same capacity
Yeah, it was band from being used for like 6 years just before this disaster as it was unsafe, i think it was spurs who also had lots of injuries (luckily none fatal) at Hillsborough years before and it was notorious for being dangerous
The 2 central pens capacity was 2,200 when they actually held about 1,600. That end of the ground, the Leppings lane end, hadn’t had a valid safety certificate since 1979.
Because with all seater stadiums you avoid the person to person crushes that happen in standing terraces. This is so elementary
All seaters are safer. The capacity is reduced to the number of seats available. For example the Leppings Lane end supposedly (and I use that term very loosely because they didn't have a valid safety certificate after the pens were put in) had a capacity of 10,100 people. All seated it was 2,294.
And no tickets 🙄
Stevie G’s cousin died that day
🙏🙏🙏
Wow Sherlock 🤣
@@Ryder.... not the time bro😔
And what makes it sadder, he was 10!!
@@Ryder.... There was an add when I typed this
Even Brian Clough went public and said how unsafe the stadium was and everybody hears Brian Clough ❤️ the fact Even he was ignored makes it look like they wanted it to happen 🤔
He put the blame on the Liverpool fans until the Truth made him eat his words
God rest them all is a crying 😢 sham x
I was a child when I was told the sad news from my mother. My family had always attended Liverpool games, so we were very concerned for their safety from what had unfolded at Hillsborough on that sad day. RIP to all of those 97 who had sadly lost their lives YNWA.
I still remember this...... 😭
This is the oh my goal we want- true stories - Rip to the victims YNWA 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️🕊🕊🕊
So sorry. It should never happen again 🇰🇪🇰🇪.
Thank you.
Please send a link of this video to _Martin Tyler._
being 10 (heysel) and 14 (hillsborough), these images stuck in me mind forever... haunting, terrible...
This is absolutely horrible😢rest in peace for all the victems.
I was at Villa Park at the other semi final there was something wrong spiritually about that day I felt a bleakness and darkness about it from the off...hearing The Bangles Eternal Flame on the radio in the minbus on the way to Birmingham it was tightly packed in the Holte end I climbed right to the very top and at the end the Norwich fans kicked the gate thru right at the top to get to the Everton fans o couldn't believe how fucken dumb that was cos we already were getting an idea from people with Radios and the Scoreboard at the other said "6 dead at Hillsborough" everything was wrong about that day.
I guess even Norwich had a few troublemakers back then!! I was at Old Trafford watching my team United get beaten by Derby County. We heard stories of some trouble at Hillsborough from people with little radios. We didn’t know how bad it was until we were on the way home. Terrible day and a watershed day for English football.
As a Liverpool fan myself I watched this full video and I was heartbroken may those Liverpool fans rest in peace no one should go to a football match and never return home YNWA #JFT97
RIP to the 97 angels YNWA❤️
Great video
I’m a loyal wednesday supporter and whenever i go to visit Hillsborough I always think about this 💙🤍💔
RIP to all the 97~
Football disaster in Indonesia is still worse than Heysel or Hillsborough, but I would accept those tragedies as the one that will never forget.
RESPECT RIP 97 Liverpool fans #YNWA
Really bad Thing rip 97 of the fans
now happening in my country, 129 people dead 😔.
Condolences to everyone who died
R.I.P to all the innocent victims.
Thay were all innocent
Still no justice for the cover up by the criminal British Establishment ..we don't forgive we don't forget ✊️🚩
Nice one! Never Sub The Sun!
going for a day out to watch football and not returning home is just not fair. YNWA 97
Can you do a video on the tragedy of gate 7 in 1981?
lol It's HillsBRUH pronunciation! But its nice to see an accurate piece about the disaster made by an American.
Imagine being crushed to death in a metal pen, and the exits are at the back of the pen.... the opposite direction of the massive pushing.
I don't think it transcended rivalries. Today a lot of people hate the Liverpool fans for bringing up things like this. They call them professional victims and whiners. A comedian on UK tv ranted about them refusing to play on the anniversary of the disaster. And other teams make fun of the deaths with memes.
Has a Man U fan RIP TO 97
Should do a football files on the stairway 13 ibrox disaster
RIP 97 YNWA
Rip 97 god have Mercy
Until today I thought the catastrophe was due to the Liverpool supporters bad behaviour.
I'm not a huge football fan. I watch the world cup when it's closing in towards the final. So I have not been following what happened. I've heard through the years from media that the blame was the Liverpool supporters.
How can they do this to the victims? That's so evil.
@@jamesfletcher474 That's a repulsive thing to say
@@amyparker9816 educate yourself, scousers are utter scum
@@jamesfletcher474 I think you are the one who needs educating. You're vile.
@@jamesfletcher474 every sports fan isn't a hooligan and even hildren were killed. Just because one is passionate and exhibits a certain type of behaviour doesn't mean they deserve what happened here.
@@vergil1155 that statement has no context at all to the reason Liverpool fans were treated the way they were. At the time nobody in the country had any sympathy for them.

This bullsht about fans always causing trouble is one of the reasons why even more lives have been lost in football. Before Hillsborough, the Bradford City fire in 1985 saw people able (thank god) to get onto the pitch as there were no pens, but far more would’ve made for the pitch rather than the cramped and locked turnstiles at the back of the stand if it wasn’t expected that you’d get your skull cracked by a police baton and banned from football for life by going on the pitch.
For too many years, fans were treated like animals and we constantly told police and politicians that it was making more problems than it was solving. Sticking us in cages and then blaming us for problems is classic police and political behaviour.
No-one should ever go to a football game and lose their life. I remember watching this game live on tv and the cameras cut away as it soon became clear that what was happening was a horrible disaster. I know many Wednesday fans were very angry at the way their ground had been used and the crowd control had been such a disaster. Hillsborough was not safe for a large match of this type. The policing was a disaster from start to finish. None of this should’ve happened.
Rip
Still not got justice! Duckenfield has got away with it!
Hooligans necessitated the fences so the authorities thought. Not coming in good time and not wanting to miss much of the match led to pushing and pressure outside the ground, (there may have also been some ticketless fans like when Liverpool went to Aston Villa on a previous occasion.)
Fans usually (get away with pushing those in front to sometimes get friends in.) but never would have imagined that fellow Liverpool fans would die as a result! The police supervision was not as effective compared with previous years and they should have admitted so. Warning signs of overcrowding at the Leppings Lane end in previous years wasn't heeded! People became heroes helping rescue people after the calamity, it's a pity more people didn't (or were restricted from) preventing it in the first place!

Funny how Liverpool never talk about heysel.
And that negates the impact of a tragedy like this ???
Funny thing is that you can’t stop mentioning it because it’s a very popular topic to begin accusing Liverpool fans and talking the Hillsborough disaster as a point scoring excuse to keep the club from being allowed to remember the tragedy, it’s strange how you have so much sympathy for Heysel yet never mention Ibrox or Bolton v stoke disaster? Not interested in any other club but love the opportunity to play the ‘what about Heysel’ card! Lazy and predictable as usual
@@jennydunn9014 your victim card doesn't work anymore. Most football fans know exactly who to blame for Hillsborough.
@@davidclarke6718Yes. South Yorkshire Police. Anyone blaming Liverpool fans isn’t a genuine football fan
@davidclarke6718 what victim card? The only one pulling out the old card is you “victim” and “never to blame” is the usual response from a hateful individual

Why Nottingham Forest 😭😭😭
RIP to the all Liverpool 96 fans I don't know why Liverpool was given that end in the first place even they had that end the year Before yet got bigger fan base than Forset no disrespect but facted. I've never got my head why they had cop.end home of Sheffield Wednesday insead 🤔???
It was down to geography; same reason Manchester United fans got that end v Derby in 1976; NW teams approach the Leppings Lane Eand first, Derby, Forest from the South.
No other fans involved but not their fault? (R I p 97😢)
No, it was the police’s fault.

97 YNWA
Hi our name Ali
97? thought it was 96
A guy that suffered severe brain damage died last year and was thus ruled the 97th victim.
R.I.P 97 this was violent drunkens barging and pushing purposely and many didn’t have tickets and broke into the stadium
But it is not the truth and that is why the people who have no idea about what happened are the most vocal critics? Can’t read the inquiry but can assume that they are the most knowledgeable? Sadly they have no clue
Could’ve been stopped if they worked properly
it was also 1989 not 1988
Liverpool played Nottingham Forest in an FA cup semi final in 1988 too.
Another document about Hillsborough and Liverpool fans,why do we never talk about Heysel?
Because people like you don’t stop talking about it because you don’t seem to understand the difference between the two tragedies, Heysel charged and imprisoned people for their actions and Hillsborough was covered up and an enquiry into the deaths of 97 people was ruled as unlawful yet nobody has ever been convicted or sentenced to prison? Do you understand now? Or maybe you just need to use Heysel for a cheap pop at Liverpool fans? Why don’t you mention Ibrox or Bolton v stoke? You have no interest in any of the disasters other than using it for your predictable posts
Go on a article about Heysel then and talk until your heart is content or do what other nobs like you do on Heysel articles and talk about hiilsborough?
Who is ‘we’ because there are several documentaries on this platform about Heysel.
