On 15 April 1989 a human crush killed 96 football fans and injured hundreds more at the Hillsborough stadium in Sheffield during the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
Even though Liverpool had more fans, they had been put in a smaller section of the stadium because the roads from Liverpool led to the entrance to the stand at Leppings Lane.
This report was broadcast the following day on RTÉ Radio's 'This Week' programme and includes interviews with Liverpool supporters describing the overcrowding and the crushing. "Why didn't they give us the big end?" one of them asks. Reporter Donal Byrne talks to soccer expert Simon Ingliss, who explains why the Yorkshire police put them there.
