Hillsborough


The Hillsborough Memorial is situated at Liverpool FC's ground at Anfield. This page is intended as an alternative for fans who cannot visit the ground to pay their respects to the 96 fans who lost their lives following the disaster.

On April 15th 1989, over 25,000 Liverpool supporters travelled down to Hillsborough to watch the FA Cup semi-final match with Nottingham Forest. 96 of them never returned. The sun had been shining and what should have been a fantastic day for both the club and the fans turned into the scene of the most horrific football disaster the English game has ever seen.

96 Liverpool supporters were crushed to death in the Leppings Lane end just after kick-off. Football in England and Liverpool Football Club, in particular, would never be the same again. But - amidst the tears, the scarves, the flowers and the funerals, an unbelievable bond between the club and the supporters emerged. Players, staff and fans from all over the world supported each other through the most difficult time in the club's history.

The events at Hillsborough on April 15th Shook The Kop more than any other day but the aftermath - with supporters, players and LFC comforting one another - highlighted why we all support Liverpool Football Club.

96 Reds live on in our memories.

Hillsborough Family
Support Group

The Hillsborough Family Support Group was founded in May 1989 by a majority of the families who lost loved ones in the Football Disaster at Hillsborough Stadium Sheffield, England on the 15th April 1989.

A few families met whilst travelling to and from the Lord Justice Taylor Inquiry, and decided that we should contact every next of kin and form a group.
