My mum was at the match but in the Lever End.

She didn’t know anything about what had happened until she got home and her mum was stood on the street corner looking out for her.

My grandad was on the Embankment that day. Never went to watch us again.

My dad once tricked him into watching an amateur cup final at Burnden years later (picked him up but didn't tell him where they were going til they got there).

My dad said he spent most of the game glancing over at the Embankment.

Must have been horrific for those who were nearby.
