Did anyone video this???  I was desperate to watch it but was out/forgot about it.  If so send me a PM please!!!!  If not does anyone know if it's due to be repeated?

I video'd it. But it is long and pretty harrowing to be honest.

I watched it, very moving and I didn't realise that they had played the game that night!

Afterwards I found this piece on the Liverpool Rivals site, quite a long article but brought a lump to my throat as I had just started getting into football when the Hillsborough tradgedy happened and I can vaguely remember the scenes on Grandstand all those years ago.

the Bradford fire was another tragedy. it's hard to imagine stuff like that happening these days, i suppose a stadium is more likely to get bombed  :roll:

I remember crying watching the Bradford fire, especially the bloke running across the pitch on fire.

I remember that day so vividly. My mum had taken my sister and I to visit my nan in Little Somerford. Saw it all unfold on the TV, absolutely horrible.

Read the link you posted and... well what can you say. Puts life in to perspective.
