Hillsborough disaster: 97th victim to be added to memorial

Liverpool football club is to update Anfield's Hillsborough memorial with the name of the 97th victim of the disaster who died last year.

Andrew Devine suffered life-changing injuries in the crush at the 1989 FA Cup semi-final in Sheffield but survived until his death in July at the age of 55.

A coroner later ruled he was unlawfully killed.

The engraving will take place on Friday, the club has confirmed.

Mr Devine's name had already been added to the memorial located at the club's Kirkby AXA Training Centre.

He was aged 22 when he went to watch Liverpool take on Nottingham Forest on 15 April 1989 at Sheffield Wednesday's stadium, where the disaster unfolded.
