UNITED COMMEMORATE HILLSBOROUGH DISASTER
The Academy was proud to join with Liverpool in paying tribute to the victims of the Hillsborough disaster ahead of the 35th anniversary today (Monday 15 April).
Last Thursday, our Under-12s and Under-13s players received a passionate education session from their coaches, explaining the impact of the disaster, how it occurred and the implications of tragedy chanting.
“The 97 [fans who died] could have been you, me or anyone who loves football,” the coaches told the kids. “Nobody should go to a football match and not come home.
“We’re very proud and honoured to be chosen by Liverpool to go and play them on Saturday and take part in the service and be respectful.
