Liverpool add Hillsborough's 97th victim to Anfield memorial

The name of the 97th victim of the Hillsborough disaster will be added to Liverpool's memorial at Anfield, the club has said.

Andrew Devine died on 27 July, 32 years after being hurt in a crush at an FA Cup semi-final in 1989 that led to 96 other deaths.

A coroner concluded the 55-year-old was the disaster's "97th fatality" and he was unlawfully killed.

The club said it would also hold a minute's silence for Mr Devine.

The tribute will take place ahead of Liverpool's opening home game in the Premier League against Burnley on Saturday 21 August.
