Disabled Liverpool supporters will tell the French Senate today how they had to flee for their lives, chased by a baying mob of hundreds of yobs outside the Stade de France, after the Champions League final.
Ted Morris, chairman of the Liverpool Disabled Supporters' Association, will tell the commission investigating the appalling scenes at the French national stadium, that he was among Liverpool fans targeted by hooligans throwing bottles and wielding knives, while the police stood by, before teargassing the traumatised supporters.
Morris, a wheelchair user since he lost the use of his legs through a medical condition seven years ago, will present nine harrowing testimonies from disabled fans, while Joe Blott, chairman of the Spirit of Shankly group, will also submit evidence of mismanagement at the final and abuse of those attending.
