FA regulations specify a minimum age of 16 for the Premier League, so Stirling must be older than 12.

I hope and pray that today is the beginning of the end in the quest for closure and justice for the families of the 96 and all those who have been affected by the events of April 15th 1989. It's been 23 years of finger pointing, blame, smears and cover ups. JUSTICE is hopefully finally around the corner for the 96.

The Justice Bell by Dave Kirby

A schoolboy holds a leather ball
in a photograph on a bedroom wall
the bed is made, the curtains drawn
as silence greets the break of dawn.

The dusk gives way to morning light
revealing shades of red and white,
which hang from posters locked in time
of the Liverpool team of 89.

Upon a pale white quilted sheet
a football kit is folded neat
with a yellow scarf, trimmed with red
and some football boots beside the bed.

In hope, the room awakes each day
to see the boy who used to play
but once again it wakes alone
for this young boy’s not coming home.

Outside, the springtime fills the air
the smell of life is everywhere
viola’s bloom and tulips grow
while daffodils dance heel to toe.

These should have been such special times
for a boy who’d now be in his prime
but spring forever turned to grey
in the Yorkshire sun, one April day.

The clock was locked on 3.06
as sun shone down upon the pitch
lighting up faces etched in pain
as death descended on Leppings Lane.

Between the bars an arm is raised
amidst a human tidal wave
a young hand yearning to be saved
grows weak inside this deathly cage.

A boy not barely in his teens
is lost amongst the dying screams
a body too frail to fight for breath
is drowned below a sea of death

His outstretched arm then disappears
to signal thirteen years of tears
as 96 souls of those who fell
await the toll of the justice bell.

Ever since that disastrous day
a vision often comes my way
I reach and grab his outstretched arm
then pull him up away from harm.

We both embrace with tear-filled eyes
I then awake to realise
it’s the same old dream I have each week
as I quietly cry myself to sleep.

On April the 15th every year
when all is calm and skies are clear
beneath a glowing Yorkshire moon
a lone Scots piper plays a tune.

The tune rings out the justice cause
then blows due west across the moors
it passes by the eternal flame
then engulfs a young boys picture frame.

His room is as it was that day
for twenty-three years it’s stayed that way
untouched and frozen forever in time
since that tragic day in 89.

And as it plays its haunting sound
tears are heard from miles around
they’re tears from families of those who fell
awaiting the toll of the justice bell.

finally some sort of closure for the families of the poor young men and women who died on that tragic day. hopefully somebody will be held accountable. the way the police behaved was not only despicable but criminal. and then there's the sun....

Hopefully they will now get the justice they deserve

I was in the same enclosure for a FA semi final a couple of years before the tragedy.

It wasn't a pleasant experience. I felt that there were too many fans in too small an area. And Liverpool have far more fans than my club.

1981 to 1988. 1987 and 1988 some fans wrote to the government and the fa complaining about Leppings Lane saying that there will a be deaths.

kelvin mckenzie has issued a profuse apology. tevor hicks desciribed mckenzie as lowlife and scum, his apology for the headline the day after was too little too late. dan roan from bbc sport tweeted "MacKenzie apologised for Sun yrs ago but in '06 said: "I only did that because Murdoch told me to. I wasn't sorry then I'm not sorry now...""

i hope the 1989 south yorkshire police face criminal and civil action and civil action against the sun, news international, murdochs, mckenzie if the families are succesful it could see the sun, news international, murdochs, the syp and mckenzie being declared bankrupt.

there will be 1m in merseyside dancing on mckenzie's grave when mckenzie dies.

NOW MUST COME ACCOUNTABILIY FOR THOSE INVOLVED IN THE LIE.

there was no communication between police and stewards, also the fa and the government did not take the fans complaints from 1981 to 1988 seriously has the fans forewarned that this will happen at some point. also no leadership in the syp and the syp high command at the time doctored the statements.

The truth is out. Now can the victims rest in peace instead of being used as political bargaining tools?

This day has been far too long in coming but I am very glad the day has arrived and the truth is now public. The dignity with which the relatives of the Hillsborough victims conduct themselves is an example to everyone.
