LIVERPOOL & EVERTON FANS UNITED AT ANFIELD FOR THE HILLSBOROUGH MEMORIAL SERVICE

#HILLSOBOROUGHMEMORIAL



This season seems a season for history to be made at Anfield. This past weekend’s win for Liverpool over City took Liverpool to a historic season. For the first tome, they have been named favorites to win the Premier league title since its formation over 20 years ago.

Another history was again writer this Tuesday when Everton and Liverpool fans were united at Anfield for a memorial service- marking exactly 25 years since the Hillsborough tragedy.

Before the City-game kick-off; there was a minute’s silence in memory of the 96 Liverpool supporters killed in a crush during a FA cup semifinal against Nottingham Forest at Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough stadium on April 15, 1989.










 The memorial service was led by Liverpool and Everton coaches, Brendan Rodgers and Roberto Martinez respectively. This month saw a new inquest into the death of the Hillsborough 96, start in Warrington, east of Liverpool, after the original coroner’s verdicts were quashed by the High Court in December 2012 amid claims of a police cover up.
