Liverpool 3-1 Nottingham Forest, FA Cup S/F 1989 (Old Trafford)

15/04/89. Hillsborough. Britain's worst sporting disaster. 96 football fans went to a game, but never returned home. The game in question was the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. It was abandoned after 6 minutes. 3 weeks later, the semi-final was replayed at Old Trafford. I dedicate this video to the memory of the 96, and hope that one day they get the justice they deserve. Martin Tyler is the commentator.

RIP 96 LIVERPOOL FANS. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN xx

[@denzil4]

I'm a Chelsea fan and I remember watching that fateful day at Hillsborough. There is always going to be rivalry between fans but the so called fans who use this disaster and others to mock each other in my opinion is disgusting. I remember in 1985 Chelsea played at Hillsborough on the first day of the 85/86 season. I was with my two brothers, one being only 14 and when we were queueing to get in there was only 2 turnstiles open and we were getting crushed against the wall at the side. I had to lift my younger brother up to stop him getting hurt. I know that is nothing compared to what happened that awful day but it was a bit scary. Like you say the 96 will never be forgotten and my deepest sympathies go out to all the families and friends of the fans who so tragically died that day. I might be on my own when I say this but I think the Hillsborough stadium should have been demolished and a shrine erected to commemorate their sad loss and Sheffield Wednesday should have relocated to another ground. I mean there is a place of remembrance at the site of the World Trade Centres and when the awful story about what happened at Fred West's house came to light that house was demolished so why not Hillsborough? Also I think I'm right in saying that the Heysel Stadium was demolished after that tragedy. How can anyone stand or sit at Hillsborough after what happened I don't know.

[@mrkipling2201]

Heysel was due to be demolished anyway wasn't anything to do with the trouble or deaths but totally agree with you about leppings lane end went there myself twice in the late 80's and it was a deathtrap.

I like seeing old games like this because you have players like Aldridge who had come up through the leagues and paid their dues before getting a move to a club like Liverpool where they made their name, not being paid 20 grand a week since they were 18 years old.

[@gary1642]

Well growing up through the leagues didn't teach him to show respect for his fellow pro's did it Joe. After the entire footballing world came together to show support and sympathy after Hillsborough, for him to disrespect someone for scoring an own goal is nothing short of disgusting not to mention the bereaved families expecting nothing less than their club to show dignity in very difficult circumstances.

[@Busher50]

You look at this and think why wasn't the tie originally played at Old trafford in the first place?

[@mrkipling2201]

Very true every football fan knew about leppings lane end and Hillsborough in general they didn't use it for most of the eighties because of crushing don't know why they went back there.

[@alancorbett1361]

Hindsite is a wonderful thing isn't it, the Liverpool v Forest game should really have been played at Villa Park as the red would have taken a bigger supporting away crowd and that stadium had the larger capacity to accommodate it, as an Evertonian we should have played Norwich at Hillsbrough in the other semi. whats dones done now and its in history im sorry to say.

[@scherben8870]

Hillsborough had a larger capacity than Villa Park; Old Trafford had a larger capacity again. However, OT couldn't be used on the 15th, as United had a home match. Hillsborough shouldn't have been chosen simply because the ground didn't have a safety certificate. Add in the incompetence of the policing and stewarding, and you're left with the entirely preventable loss of 96 lives; hundreds injured; and an unknowable amount of PTSD. Why lessons weren't learned from the 1981 and 1987 semi-finals is beyond me.

[@mrkipling2201]

Scherben very true the tunnel was too steep and didn't adhere to the safety rules it was a 1 in 6 gradient when it should have been 1 in 10 I think plus barriers were added, moved or removed without any upgrade to the safety certificate in pens 3 and 4 , signage was inadequate and the supposed capacity of the whole terrace was wrong. It wasn't used for 6 years after 1981 and why they started using it again is beyond me. As you say the warning signs were there in 87 and 88.

[@scherben8870]

I'm unsure what you mean by the "wasn't used for 6 years". If you mean the Leppings Lane terrace, that was in use, as United filled it on three occasions in the 80s prior to the disaster. :)

I don’t even take him seriously when he wears the top and tells me all about the current team form etc. I say you can know all you like about the history of the club, current form etc etc but I still don’t see you as a Liverpool fan you’re from Notts 🤦🏻‍♂️ where as I got a mate who is from Liverpool and is a casual fan. He wouldn’t even know who they are playing next, what position in the league they are in etc and hasn’t followed them for weeks. But even so when he wears the top and I saw him earlier in the pub about to watch them on tv in the semis today everyone still saw him as a real Liverpool fan. I guess it means something to be from the place your team represents.

Shame really but never mind, RIP 96.

[@Gaffer_Bouncers]

[@garethfieldstead7547]

Help and assistance? Once aware of the scale of the tragedy they kept there mouths shut, initially they were insulting and booing the fans on the pitch. Forest fans didn't come onto the pitch and the SWP decided they needed to waste officers from helping the injured and dying by forming a line right across the halfway line. How did Forest fans help? I do remember several of your fans and that manager of yours blaming the Liverpool fans for the disaster. That's about it.

[@pablojablo6371]

Now you see that's an old Liverpool song from the 70's and it goes ' We hate Nottingham Forest We hate Everton to . We hate Man Utd but Liverpool we love you. So that's what the song was and was sung at every game back then so it has nothing to do with what happened at Hillsborough.

Given the significance of this match, the crown distribution seems rather odd - theres is masses of empty space on the predominantly seated Scoreboard End and yet the mostly standing Stretford End is full. Given the 39000 attendance in a ground which at the time held well over 50,000 the logical thing would to fully utilise the seated sections and reduce the number of standing tickets.

Who'd have thought in 2018 after it seeming like we'd had justice, proceedings have currently been thrown out against Bettison?

[@neilrobinson1815]

oh my god what a joke

[@muttley8818]

Ironically, the pens were in part due to fan hooliganism. Heysel 1985 (which, unlike Hillsborough, was the fault of fans together with poor stadium choice/UEFA management) being one incident during a very troubled time. There was standing room in stadiums to allow for bigger capacities and more revenue. In the 60's and 70's it wasn't uncommon to see crowds right on the touch and goal lines. At times, they were literally on the pitch. Hillsborough was the disaster that revolutionized stadium safety standards. And it's the main reason that today you can go to a football match in relative safety. I always thought Old Trafford or even Wembley would have been a better choice. Hillsborough had been the location of the exact same fixture the year before and there was no major incidents. The disaster happened because of inexperienced police officers in charge in 1989. It's also worth mentioning that as I write this (15 Jan, 2019), Duckenfield, who was the officer in charge at Hillsborough, is on trial for manslaughter. Along with several others.

My memory of this game is probably very different to most on here. I was at Villa Park watching Everton beat Norwich when Hillsborough was happening. Then like everyone with any empathy realised if the balls had come out the hat in a different order that could have been me and my club suffering. Between Hillsborough and this rearranged game John Aldridge announced he was seriously considering he may never kick a ball again. I knew at the time he would . Then Brian Laws scores an own goal. Nottingham Forrest indeed the entire footballing world stood as one with Liverpool, and how does Aldridge repay it? He takes the piss out of Laws. Laws on the ground devastated at scoring an own goal has Aldridge come along and ruffle his hair. No sympathy , it may be a small thing, you could argue after Hillsborough people weren't thinking properly. I was genuinely disgusted at Aldridge throwing back all the sympathy his club and himself had received with this selfish uncaring act. I will never forget this and have never heard a single person ever mention it. That's my memory of this game , instead of my first thought being a club their fans and players showing the strength to live this nightmare again and come through the other side it's of John Aldridge humiliating a fellow pro for his mistake. Thanks John I hope you're proud.

[@vordman]

That hair-ruffling incident shamed Aldridge. I remember it well. Like you I was at Villa Park watching the Blues beat Norwich (terrible game) on the day of Hillsborough and remember the news filtering through on the radio. If I had been Brian Laws I'd have sought him (Aldridge) out after the game and demanded he explain himself. Maybe he was just immature (or, more likely, thick) but it jarred horribly with the atmosphere the game was played under.

Aldridge a bloody disgrace for showing a lack of sportsmanship and dignity to Laws 8:29 after own goal,he wouldn't have done that to Stuart Pearce.He would still be in bloody orbit.Forest on the day were on an hiding to nothing with the countrys' sentiment and emotions demanding a Liverpool win. R.I.P.the 96

Na mate. Vast majority still wanted a Forest win! A far more popular club up and down the UK.

And a massive portion including myself hate Liverpool with a passion. Hillsborough as dreadful a tragedy as it was would never change my opinion.

But I heard the same thing about Pool fans that day from my mate who was at the game. Is he completely wrong? I know this isn't the place for it, but it's not the first time I heard it. Every team has fans who act like twats on matchday, and Pool are no different. Right?

Nice piece of shithousery from Aldridge after the og 😂 Have to say it again... Barnes was one of the all time greats.

[@markrudd2536]

Aldridge, no class

[@robicenco1]

Good lad.

@ureds27 Once again with the stereotypes; how many liverpool fans do you know? Of course I'm ashamed of the SMALL minority that have let this club down (e.g heysel), and offended by everything? How exactly?

[@Swild80]
