Hillsborough Tragedy



 Hillsborough tragedy was one of black page of  Liverpool Football Club history.. where 96 liverpool fans died on 15 April 1989. It was FA-Cup semi-final between LFC v Nottingham Forest and the game played at Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough stadium.

The main cause of this tragedy was overcrowding, the main reason for the disaster was the failure of police control.

The victims of hillsborough tragedy: 89 were male 7 were female. In respect of age, the majority were under 30 years of age, and more than a third were under 20 years. The youngest to die was a boy of 10 years and one of the victims are steven gerrard cousin.

There was some controversial news about this tragedy, one of newspaper the sun reporting some news that wouldn't forgive by LFC fans all over the world, this was news:

 "On the Tuesday following the disaster, Kelvin MacKenzie, then editor of The Sun, a British tabloid newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch, used the front page headline 'THE TRUTH', with three sub-headlines: 'Some fans picked pockets of victims'; 'Some fans urinated on the brave cops'; 'Some fans beat up PC giving kiss of life'."

this news hurts LFC fans and family of the victims.. The Sun blame Liverpool fans for this tragedy.. and on 1993 they release the news about an apologize statement for all LFC fans and family victims.. they said ""I regret Hillsborough. It was a fundamental mistake. The mistake was I believed what an MP said. It was a Tory MP. If he had not said it and the chief superintendent had not agreed with it, we would not have gone with it."

But this explanation was not accepted by families of Hillsborough victims until now that's why LFC fans still boycott The Sun Newspaper..

22 years and still on we'll seeks for justice.. 96 souls taken on that day.. They'll Never Walks alone.. #JusticeFor96..
