Tänään on taas aika kunnioittaa niitä 96 Liverpool kannattajaa, jotka saivat surmansa Hillsboroughssa 1989. Kello 17.06 meikäläinen ainakin muistelee viime vuotista Hillsborough Memorialia, missä sain kunnian olla paikalla Anfieldilla.
Asiaan kuuluva Anne Williamsin runo pojastaan Kevinistä, joka sai surmansa tuona surullisena päivänä:
WHAT HAPPENED TO KEVIN.
It was Friday night when we said no Sheffield was to far for Kevin to go, he went in a sulk he looked so sad, " Kevin studies hard let him go" said dad. On condition Kevin catches the police escort train to take him safely to the game.
Kevin entered the ground at 1.30.pm that day to get his spec to watch Liverpool play. First Kevin went into pen 4 then he changed to pen 3, where he found a better place to see.
The first mistake the police made that day was to let he fans build up that way. Police should have been posted at the turnstiles, to lead the fans in, in single file. The second mistake was to open the big blue gate, without letting the police know inside the ground, the had no commander the inquiry found.
The fans were let in they did not know were to go, they made for the tunnel they did not know, that there would be danger at the other end and somebody might loose a friend.
Kevin stood in his pen waiting for the match to begin, he was happy nothing was worrying him, a surge came it caused some pain it eased off, Kevin and Andrew where alright again. Kevin turned to Andrew and said "its getting a bit packed in here" poor little boy was full of fear, a second surge came, Andrew never saw Kevin alive again.
Fans getting crushed shouting and crying, "open the gates people are dying in here" the police ignored them, the fans began to shout and jeer, the police pretended they did not hear. The police smacked the fans hands off the wire cages, help did not come for ages and ages. The police pushed the fans back into their pen, little children and grown up men.
The fans who stood by gated 4 and 3 began to shout began to plea, Grobbelaar Grobbelaar open the gates let us out before it is to late. They tried to blame the fans they lied, only for the fans many more would have died. The where fans pulling fans up to safety in the west stand, helping each other hand in hand.
The police lifted Kevin out at 3.28.pm they had left him so long it was nearly too late. The Liverpool fans carried Kevin up the pitch to the North stand hoping he would get a helping hand. Kevin lay on his back that day being sick in a bad way. The police had made a cordon in front of the stand; they would not break it to give Kevin a hand. A Liverpool fan made his way down from the stand, to see if he could help Kevin who was moving on the ground.
All around people where shouting and crying “Help my mate will yeah, don't let my mate die." They were the words that the Liverpool fans cried.
An ambulance passed the north stand at 3.37.pm the fan tried to stop if for Kevin, if it had stopped Kevin would not be in heaven. The fan who had been helping Kevin was told he had passed away, upset he left and went on his way.
The police lady came to take Kevin to the gym, “hurry I can see life in him," then she found a pulse on him, if only they had some oxygen. The police lady laid Kevin on the floor of the gym where she started to resuscitate him, Kevin started to breath again, she picked Kevin up in her arms and held him like a baby, I am so grateful to the police lady.
Kevin opened his eyes and spoke a word, at first the police lady was scared, she told me Kevin did not look at her he stared the other way "MUM” was the word she heard Kevin say. Kevin closed his eyes; he tuned grey and then blue the police lady new there was nothing else she could do. The police lady washed Kevin's face and combed his hair, the things I would have done if I had been there.
All dead by 3.15.pm is a lie at 3.55.pm that dreadful day my lovely son passed away, he died in the arms of a Special W.P.C. calling for his" MUM" perhaps Kevin thought she was me.
JUSTICE FOR THE 96!
DON'T BUY THE S*N!
YNWA!
