Remember it like it was yesterday, I was working that Saturday down the coal mine when I had to get in touch with the surface control room for something, the guy in the control room said something has gone off at Hillsbrough, he was watching it on the TV in the Control room, later he phoned us back to tell us that 20 odd Liverpool fans had been killed, all the lads who I was working with at the time were football fans who supported the local team. When we got back to the surface we all went to the control room to see what was going on, grown miners covered in coal dust were stood there with tears streaming down their faces at the pictures that were being shown on TV.
