There will hopefully be memorials and tributes to the Hillsborough victims from all teams this weekend, but it’s always going to have a greater meaning to those connected with Liverpool Football Club.
One of their outstanding young players Harvey Elliott is enjoying a productive loan spell with Blackburn, and he took the moment to pay tribute to the 96 as he took his shirt off to unveil a message of support:

It was also a winning goal that should shut down any fears of relegation for Blackburn too, so it’s a big moment in the young man’s career.
Yeah that is absolute good for the reds generally.
