Today is twenty-five years since the Hillsborough disaster where ninety-six people lost their lives at an FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.

Managers of both Merseyside clubs spoke at the memorial service at Anfield today.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez gave a moving speech, expressing the sympathy he, as a 15-year-old, along with his family had felt for the grieving families. He went on to ask "How can anyone die watching the game we love?".
