2014 Hillsborough Your Poems+ 2000-2013
~Remember the 96 15.04.89

With the truth finally out and justice it seems at last to happen, these are a selection of the poems we have received in the last 14 years since our inception which remember the lives of those 96 souls we lost. The tragic Hillsborough disaster and human crush occurred during the semi-final FA Cup tie between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on 15 April 1989 at the Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield. The crush resulted in the deaths of 96 people, with a total of 766 other persons being injured. All of them were fans of Liverpool Football Club. New poems always welcome.
