There's something so romantic about winter and I don't know whether that's just because

I'm a bit for homebody and I love a 5th but I think it's just the holiday period.

records will know that I'm quite a big fan of romance.

This week on Red Handed we're going to be talking about the Hillsborough disaster.

The events that took place on the 15th of April 1989 during the FA Cup semi-final between

Liverpool Football Club and Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough Stadium claim the lives of

96 men, women and children and left 766 other people injured.

A coroner ruling confirmed that the 97th death occurred just last year in 2021 when Andrew

Davine died from aspiration pneumonia as a direct result of brain injuries that he sustained

on that tragic day 32 years ago.

While the 96 who lost their lives in 1989 the youngest was just 10 years old and the oldest

was 67 and unbelievably only 14 of those who died ever made it to hospital.

All of those innocent people who died or survived the disaster were the victims of the complacency,

ineptitude and sheer incompetence of those whose very jobs were to ensure their safety.

Multiple warnings and complaints had been raised before about safety issues at that same

stadium but they had all been ignored for years by officials and the absolutely disgusting

way in which senior police officers and other authorities at the time attempted to clear

their own names of any responsibility by placing the blame on the fans themselves just made

this horrendous situation even worse.
