Thoughts go out to the families, fanbase and clubs of the 54 Bradford fans and 2 Lincoln fans who never returned from a football match in 1985, such a sad event shocked the world of football

Such a dark day for football.

Remember seeing this list before, reading through the names and realising the groups of surnames are where multiple family members must have lost their lives that day. Just like Hillsborough people went to a game of football with their kids, brothers, cousins etc. and never came home.

Could easily have been any of us.

RIP.

I do fire warden duties at work. Had to watch a video of the tragedy several times on training course. It's horrific and the worst thing is the early complacency - had people left early then it's likely a soul wouldn't have been lost but nobody knew what was to come
