The Saddest Day In The History Of Liverpool Football Club.

17 years ago on April 15th, 1989, 96 Liverpool supporters lost their lives on the most tragic day in the history of Liverpool Football Club. The 96 people may have died that day, but their lives live on in our souls forever.

"Lest we forget!"

To those of you that know nothing of the events of that terrible day, I would like to explain briefly what happened: It was the day of the semi-final of the FA Cup, which is one of the biggest competitions held every year with every football team involved in the tournament.

The game was held at Hillsborough Stadium; Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest.

96 Liverpool supporters lost their lives that day.

Most of them were crushed to death due to a terrible accident. There was NO violence of any kind that day! Just a tragic accident.

There were young children and adults of all ages that lost their lives on that sad, sad day.

The picture is of the memorial outside of Liverpool's stadium, Anfield. It is in memory of the 96 people and is always decorated with flowers or other adornments, pretty well all year round.

Today is a sad day for the club and all concerned, but the 96 will never be forgotten. Please take a moment to read their names and to allow their spirit to live on forever......... May they all rest in peace forever.
