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.
