Hillsborough: Clubs put rivalries aside with tributes on 36th anniversary – Liverpool FC

With Liverpool marking the 36th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster on Tuesday, clubs across the Premier League and beyond paid tribute to the 97.

The events at Hillsborough on April 15, 1989 caused the unlawful deaths of 97 supporters and an immeasurable impact on countless others.

Tuesday brought the 36th anniversary of the tragedy that unfolded in Sheffield, during an FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.

Arne Slot and Virgil van Dijk were among those to lay wreaths at the Hillsborough Memorial outside Anfield, joined by the coaches and captains of Liverpool’s women’s, U21s and U18s teams.

A period of silence was observed ahead of first-team training at the AXA Training Centre later in the day.

And clubs in the Premier League and beyond showed their support for the Hillsborough families and survivors while honouring the 97.

That saw many of Liverpool’s rivals, including Everton, Man United, Arsenal and Man City, all post tributes on X:

So too did Nottingham Forest, who remembered those involved in a tragedy that caused the stoppage of their semi-final:

West Ham were Liverpool’s opponents at the weekend and followed up the laying of a wreath at the Hillsborough Memorial on Sunday with further words of support:

And the gestures were echoed outside of the Premier League, with Sheffield Wednesday among those to pay their respects to those lost and still affected:

Our thoughts today are with all those affected by the tragedy.

In memory of the 97 supporters who went to watch their beloved Reds but never returned. May they rest in peace and never be forgotten.
