Club unveil plaque outside South Stand at new stadium
Representatives of families attend ceremony
Everton have marked the 37th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster by unveiling a permanent tribute at Hill Dickinson Stadium to the 97 Liverpool supporters who were unlawfully killed.
Representatives of the Hillsborough families and Liverpool FC were invited to a ceremony at Everton’s new stadium on Wednesday to pay respects to the 97 and unveil a plaque outside the South Stand.
Sir Kenny Dalglish, Liverpool’s manager when the disaster occurred at the FA Cup semi-final in 1989, and Ian Rush laid floral tributes on behalf of the club. Stephen Kelly, a Hillsborough campaigner and Evertonian who lost his older brother Michael in the disaster, was among those who laid a wreath at the memorial.
