Football Focus - 20th anniversary of Hillsborough disaster pt 5

Remembering the horrendous tragedy of Apr 15 1989, where appalling mismanagement of a football match crowd by police resulted in the deaths of 96 Liverpool supporters, who'd turned up to watch an FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.

To date, nobody in authority has been punished for their role in what happened that day.

See http://www.contrast.org/hillsborough/ to learn about the ongoing struggle for justice.

Contributors include Des Lynam, Alan Hansen, Mark Lawrenson, John Aldridge, Steven Gerrard, Kenny Dalglish, Sue Johnston, Steve Wilson, Brian Laws and John Motson.

This part includes the minute silence prior to Liverpool v Blackburn on 11th April, as well as the fabulous gesture by Stephen Warnock, who laid a floral tribute at the base of the Kop prior to the game.

Original air date Apr 11 2009.
