Justice For The 96

The movement that supports justice from the failings of the Hillsborough disaster is something of a paradox: a noble cause that you want to end, because if it does then the families will have won. Liverpool FC will of course never forget April 1989 and it has made them as a support stronger than they were in their heyday. 

On my sister blog I wrote about how football changed dramatically from the day that ninety six people innocents died on the Leppings Lane end of the Hillsborough stadium. It can be viewed here. The peculiarity of that day involved everyone in this nation: from the establishment classes to the working classes, the event was a heady reminder of where as a society, and football as a product, would go to next. 

Justice Please
