    Football Focus special programme to mark the 20th anniversary of Hillsborough

    SATURDAY, 1210 BST, BBC ONE & bbc.co.uk/football

    On Saturday Football Focus will be live from Anfield in a special programme to mark the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.

    We'll be remembering the tragic events of 15 April 1989, which led to the deaths of 96 Liverpool supporters who were at Hillsborough to watch an FA Cup semi-final between the Merseyside club and Nottingham Forest.

    We'll be hearing from members of the Liverpool team that day, including manager Kenny Dalglish and players Alan Hansen and John Aldridge.

    Trevor and Jenni Hicks recall the moment they learned they had lost their two teenage daughters in the disaster, while survivors Peter Carney and Damian Kavanagh provide first-hand testimony of the day's events.

    Current Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, who lost his cousin that day, tells us how the tragedy still reverberates around the club 20 years on.

    And we'll be speaking to Des Lynam and John Motson, who were part of the BBC's Match of the Day team at the ground.

    We'll also be live at Hillsborough ahead of Saturday's Championship game between Sheffield Wednesday and Derby County. The clubs' managers Brian Laws and Nigel Clough were in the Forest team on 15 April.

    Damian Johnson investigates how football has been transformed in the years since Hillsborough.

    And we'll be asking the Chairman of the Football Association, Lord Triesman , whether a disaster like Hillsborough could ever happen again.

    Join Manish Bhasin and Mark Lawrenson live from Anfield in Saturday's Football Focus, 1210 BST on BBC One.

        The History channel are showing a special programme too.

        I think Torres's first goal was a nice tribute.

          Recorded it yesterday and have just watched it - an extremely sensitive and moving programme. Hansen could barely keep himself together when talking about Hillsborough on 'Match of the Day' last night.

              Haven't seen it all, just the clips on the BBC website. I was surprised by just how choked Des Lynam was. Perhaps I shouldn't have been...it will haunt forever everybody who was there.

              Is there any way of viewing the whole programme?
