    THIS coming Wednesday, April 15, marks the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster, when 96 Liverpool supporters lost their lives during an FA Cup semi-final. It was a tragedy that stunned the world of football.

    Ahead of this week’s anniversary, Celtic chairman, John Reid, has written to Liverpool Chief Executive Rick Parry, to pass on the thoughts and prayers of everyone in the Celtic family to their Liverpool counterparts at such a sad time.

    Dear Rick
    Even 20 years later, the tragedy Liverpool Football Club and your supporters suffered at Hillsborough on 15 April 1989 is, I am sure, still very painful and difficult to comprehend.

    The events that day changed domestic football forever and it is very regrettable that such a disaster was the catalyst for the safety we now take for granted in stadia up and down the country.

    Throughout all that time your club conducted itself with great dignity and I know that several members of your staff at that time attended each of the 96 funerals. That must have been unbelievably distressing and those involved can only be commended.

    I recall with both pride and sadness that Celtic hosted a benefit game in what was to be Liverpool’s very first match following that fateful cup tie and that strengthened what were already very strong bonds between our two clubs.

    Our thoughts and prayers are with you, the team and the wider Liverpool FC family as you approach this anniversary.

    With very best wishes to you all,
    Yours sincerely

    Dr John Reid
    Chairman
    Celtic Football Club

    Nice piece. Nobody should ever go to any football match and not be able to return home.

    well said we were honoured to be asked to play
    the benefit match .got hammered 5 or 6 one if i remember
    but the score meant nothing the livepool players were
    on fire understandably. our very own tommy burns had a great match

    The Celtic/Liverpool JFT96 banner was on The Kop at yesterdays game.
    Our thoughts & prayers go to the families & friends of all those affected. Hard to believe its 20 years on already.
    JUSTICE FOR THE 96

    Only involvement he probably had in that statement was proof-reading it.

    RIP and JFT96 :shamrock:
