The club was saddened by Sissons' passing earlier this month.
The Liverpudlian worked for ITN, Channel 4 and the BBC during a media career that spanned more than 45 years.
Sissons also sat on the Hillsborough Independent Panel, which spent 18 months scrutinising documents relating to the deaths of 96 children, women and men as a result of the events at the FA Cup semi-final in April 1989.
His work on the panel contributed to quashing the original verdicts that those deaths were accidental and new hearings were ordered. In April 2016, a jury returned a determination of unlawful killing in the deaths of the 96 supporters.
