36 years Justice for the 97
It's 36 years ago today since the tragic events at Hillsborough. If you listen to one thing today listen to this. Commentator Peter Jones with his final report on BBC Sport On 2. Simple, but very powerful words No one should go to a football match and not come home! RIP The 97
