Hillsborough Tragedy, the biggest nightmare of English football

Last update 27 March, 2024 by Alberto Llopis

Hillsborough Tragedy It was something that should never have happened.. Especially when you had the experience of what had happened four years before in the Heysel tragedy.

He 15 April 1989, the day of the Hillsborough tragedy

That date, It is undoubtedly a dark date for British and world football. That day, that afternoon during the Cup semi-final match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest one of the greatest misfortunes ever remembered on a football field was going to occur, Hillsborough tragedy, the stadium in Sheffield who witnessed the death of 96 personas.

Four years after what happened in Heysel, Fans “reds” They went with the hope of seeing their team reach a new final of the FA Cup. In front, a historical rundown, also sought an end on a stage that had already served on many occasions to host FA Cup semifinals. A duel of great English football was going to have a dramatic result after a number of factors coalesce unwanted.

96 sorry they lost their lives

The bulk of Liverpool fans was located in the Lepping Lane, the area north and west. 24.000 fans packed half a stadium that could hold 40.000 logically spectators and hosted many more if we consider that occurred cites other 29.000 Forest fans. A terrible mistake of the organization, eager to sell more tickets due and caused chaos that ended a deadly avalanche.

Mortal because they were 96, Fans “reds” who lost their lives imprisoned against the fences, because they were 796 because fans were injured and thousands of people were directly or indirectly affected by that event. It took six minutes to start the game, at 3:06 PM that said 15 April 1989, with the party just begun. There were many who criticized the behavior of “caring” Del Liverpool. What attacked his conduct, including the Government and the British Federation and UEFA.

UEFA's sanction on English teams

So much so that Liverpool and the rest of the English teams were banned from playing in Europe for six years. So much so that Margaret Thatcher attacked a famous Taylor report that forced British teams to remove barbed wire fences, standing room, not sell alcohol, to implement security cameras and to undertake a crusade that had just once and for all with the phenomenon “hooligan”.

exceptional measures, just had a failure. He lied, he missed the truth. Followers were not to blame (among which was the later legend 'Red’ Steve Gerrard). It was the organization. more people were allowed due, no appropriate security measures were taken and that was priced: too expensive, the death of 96 personas, that you can never forget. Nunca.
