Jordan Henderson has outlined why Liverpool players have a responsibility to understand what happened at the Hillsborough disaster on April 15, 1989.
Monday will mark the 30th anniversary of the tragedy in which 96 children, women and men lost their lives – and their memory will be honoured during the Reds’ fixture with Chelsea today.
Writing in his column in the official matchday programme, Henderson said: “Thirty years is more than a lifetime for the vast majority of our playing squad – almost its entirety, actually.
“Like most of the first-team players I wasn’t born when 96 supporters of this club – men, women and children – attended a football match and never came home.
