Liverpool and Manchester United discuss Hillsborough tribute at Anfield

• Anfield game first since Hillsborough panel reported
• United expected to pay respects before kick-off

Liverpool and Manchester United will talk about a tribute to the Hillsborough victims and their families for Sunday, not how to prevent distasteful chanting, in preparation for an emotionally-charged occasion at Anfield.

United are Liverpool's first opponents at Anfield since the Hillsborough Independent Panel revealed the extent of the establishment cover-up over the loss of 96 lives in 1989. A meeting between the north west rivals is always charged but the timing of Sunday's game, the anti-Liverpool chants from a minority of United supporters against Wigan Athletic on Saturday and the ill-feeling between Luis Suárez and Patrice Evra has added to the scrutiny on their latest encounter.

Despite the controversy generated at Old Trafford on Saturday Liverpool have no plans to treat United's visit differently to any other high-profile home fixture. There will be a standard meeting between the clubs this week, warnings about offensive behaviour to all supporters and players reminded of their responsibilities before kick-off.

The only extraordinary measures being taken for the game by Liverpool relate to the findings of the Hillsborough panel. Anfield officials are liaising with representatives of the Hillsborough family groups and an announcement on a tribute to the victims, and those who fought for 23 years to expose the truth, will be made closer to the game. A mosaic on the Kop is one idea under consideration while Liverpool players may again wear tracksuit tops emblazoned with 96 on the back, as they did at Sunderland on Saturday. Relatives of the Hillsborough victims will be invited to take part in a tribute and United are expected to pay their own respects before kick-off.

Both Sir Alex Ferguson and Brendan Rodgers appealed for supporters to cease chanting about tragedies suffered by United and Liverpool following the panel's findings last week. A repeat could be made before Sunday in light of some United supporters ignoring Ferguson's request.

As for Suárez and Evra, Liverpool are confident there will be no repetition of February's controversy at Old Trafford when the Uruguay international refused to shake the United defender's hand before kick off. Suarez was made acutely aware of Liverpool's anger the following day by managing director Ian Ayre and then manager Kenny Dalglish and issued his own apology for events at Old Trafford.

The referee for Sunday's Premier League meeting at Anfield, meanwhile, has been confirmed as Mark Halsey.

Anne Williams - “The only time Michael [Kevin's older brother] broke – I had the radio on, so it must have been a couple of years after because I’d started putting the radio back on, and the Hollies’ “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” was on. I heard all this crying. It was Michael. He said, “Mum, I carried him [he was a pall bearer at Kevin’s funeral]. I didn’t just lose my brother, I lost my best mate.” And he broke his heart.”

A SENIOR South Yorkshire police chief raised the prospect of a junior officer taking the blame for the fateful decision to open Hillsborough’s Gate C, the ECHO has discovered.

Deputy Chief Constable (DCC) Peter Hayes discussed the possibility despite knowing full well the decision to open gates had been taken by the match commander Chief Supt David Duckenfield.

The possible plan is uncovered in documents contained within the damning Hillsborough Panel Report released last week.

Just four days after the tragedy, DCC Hayes, who retired from duty in March 1993, mooted the possibility of a mystery junior officer – named Mr X – “appearing” to say “I opened the gate”.



The comments were made in a meeting with the South Yorkshire Police’s solicitors Hammond Suddards, the secretariat to South Yorkshire Police Authority and the police authority’s insurers, Municipal Mutual Insurance.

The first writs seeking compensation for injuries sustained at Hillsborough were issued and served on the force on April 18 and the meeting with police officials was “to discuss the insurance and legal implications of the received and anticipated claims”.

The conversation centred around preparing the case for the Justice Taylor report and the insurance and legal implications surrounding those compensation claims, both already received and anticipated.

The meeting included scrutiny of what the minutes of the meeting termed the “legal representation for the two officers primarily concerned”.

DCC Hayes asked: “We have two senior officers one who is the Divisional Commander Chief Superintendent Duckenfield, and the other is the Deputy Divisional Commander Superintendent Marshall – who is the man who made the decision to open the gate.”

He added: “Those two people are in a very exposed position” and asks for clarity on legal cover to ensure they are “properly represented”.

But later on in the meeting he moots the possibility that both men could say they had nothing to do with the gate.

Instead an “officer X” could appear and state that he or she was so “terrified” that they and not the implicated senior officers opened it.

As the report reveals, he stated: “Just to clarify that, if it emerges that the opening of the gates at this particular time was clearly significant to the tragedy that occurred, etc, and these two senior officers could say, ‘well I was never asked about the opening of that gate, I never authorised the opening of that gate, I was not there when the gate was opened ....’ and officer ‘X’ appeared who says, ‘well I saw the wall moving, I was terrified and I opened the gate,’ then he might be one of the individuals who might become the Duckenfield/Marshall extension.

“If there are other people who significantly come into the picture you would consider them?”

A claims manager replied that: “I think officers at a lower level would probably, from my experience with police claims, go to the Police Federation anyway and feel more comfortable with that representation, but other individuals would be considered.”

Appalled relatives of those who died in the tragedy today branded the revelations “disgusting” and said it was further proof “the police wanted to see ‘who can we get to take the blame’.”

Margaret Aspinall, chairwoman of the Hillsborough Family Support Group, and whose son James, 18, died in the tragedy told the ECHO: “The whole conspiracy just gets bigger and bigger and there will be a lot more revelations.

“This is absolutely disgusting, just four days later they were asking ‘who can we get to take the blame for this?’ It’s a disgrace but nothing should shock us anymore, we knew it was a cover-up and now we have shown it.”

South Yorkshire Police confirmed Supt Marshall left the force in 1991, and DCC Hayes retired two years later.

It is well known and extensively referenced in the panel’s report that match commander Chief Superintendent David Duckenfield, who had minimal experience of managing football matches, gave the fateful go ahead for the opening of exit gates.

Duckenfield – who later lied that fans had broken into the stadium – did so, as the report notes, after senior officer outside the ground, Superintendent Roger Marshall “radioed that unless the large exit gates were opened to relieve the crush there would be serious injuries, possibly deaths. “Hesitating, Chief Supt Duckenfield gave the command to open the gates.”

Duckenfield retired on medical grounds in 1992 and a disciplinary investigation was dropped.

In 2000 a private prosecution was brought against him and his deputy Supt Bernard Murray.

A jury failed to reach a verdict on Duckenfield and Murray, who died from cancer in 2006, was acquitted.

That is a sickening revelation. The tribute from Everton was great to see, everybody in the U.K should be united in their response to the Hillsborough tragedy now the truth is out because it is a glaring example of police corruption as well as an event in which 96 people lost their life.

Corruption amongst those who are supposed to protect society is a great betrayal and thats why the people who tried to cover this up need to be brought to justice, for the sake of the families who have suffered because of their lies but also to be made an example out of what happens to those who abuse their power. Hopefully they will be.
