Pre-match tributes in memory of Hillsborough tragedy

Pre-match tributes in memory of Hillsborough tragedy

Both teams to pay respects at tonight’s match.

Following consultation with Liverpool Football Club, both teams will come together at tonight’s match to pay their respects to the 97 football supporters who lost their lives after the Hillsborough tragedy.

Each captain will walk out onto the field with flowers in memory of the 97. Following the on-pitch handshakes, there will be a tannoy announcement and images on the big screen.

Whilst that takes place, each captain will walk over to the away supporters section at Elland Road and lay the flowers in front of the fans.

This weekend marked the 34th anniversary, with April 15th a significant and unforgettable date in Liverpool Football Club’s history, as well as the footballing world.

Everyone connected with Leeds United wishes to share their love and sends support to the families, friends and survivors.
