I was 6 years old in 1989, I vaguely remember seeing what happener that day and somebody telling me at first it is probably a pitch invasion which when you see it unfold initially it looks like a hooligans big day out, I think it was just as the game was abandoned Motson, I think it was, spoke of the crush in the stand and I think he said people were dying and that was it, I was horrified, shocked, numb, I was new to football and still did not understand the way of the world, at school on the monday, there was talk about it and I repeatedly asked 'why, it's football, you goto the game, you come home' nobody could answer me and I am still looking for an answer today.
But, I believe one thing, it was always going to happen, football was in decline, the stadium problem was a tragedy waiting to happen, Hillsborough itself had no safety certificate and had not for years, there was problems in '81 and '88 and then the tragedy in 1989...
