Release enough statements and one of them will sound right stuff from Bettison

Trevor Hicks' original statement. Absolutely heart breaking read

What a cunt that senior police officer was, shows the disdain senior ranks of South Yorkshire Police had for us. Hope they get what they truly deserve

Bettison:

My role was never to besmirch the fans. I did not do that.

I am deeply sorry that impression and slight has lingered for 23 years.

He did besmirch the fans. It's exactly what he did, and he did it again yesterday.

Just been down to Anfield to lay some flowers. There were plenty of people there ad a wedding party as well. Loads of flowers but there was one message that stood out and it reads "RIP the 96. A lucky one". Sent a shiver down my spine. There is also a Derby County shirt there which reads never give up justice for the 96 and a leeds flag saying "Finally the truth is out"

I always describe myself as a lucky one too. I was just talking about it with a close friend and colleague and saying how/why did those police officers choose my outstretched hand out of the thousands of fans who were crying for help that afternoon? They pulled me through Gate C onto the pitch and saved my life but the question I have asked myself every single day for over 23 years is "why me?"

I cant even imagine what you have been through mate. I only hope this week will help ease your pain. Finally the world knows what we knew for 23 years

Next up was my spiritual home of Liverpool. Great show. Magnificent crowd. They never let you down them scousers. While I'm at it let me say I'm writing this on the day that THE TRUTH has finally been exposed about the Hillsborough disaster. Respect to the family's of the 96 for exposing the lies of Thatcher's government. With my hand on my heart I salute you. xxxxxx

Pure luck mate. Life is so random there are no answers for questions like that truth be told.

I don't think this has been posted yet

Brighton and Hove Albion FC are to stage a moment of reflection for Hillsborough before Friday night's home clash with Sheffield Wednesday.

Seagulls manager Gus Poyet and chief executive Paul Barber have also posted messages in their official matchday programme.

Poyet said: "Ahead of kick-off, we will take a moment of reflection in light of the Hillsborough report published earlier this week. I was not in England at the time, but it was still a tragedy which touched the entire football world. At last the families of those who died and the people of Liverpool have some closure and tonight we will have the opportunity to reach out and show our respect to the 96."

Barber added: "Finally, on a more sombre but very important note, as football fans we welcomed this week's news of the outcome of the Hillsborough report. It will finally give some closure and peace to the many families affected by the tragic events of that April afternoon in 1989. Tonight we will have an opportunity for a moment of quiet reflection."
