That's all I can write for now.

Touching story, nice to see how much a club can be part of someone's life. Sad to hear about Hillsborough, I cannot imagine the grief and horror you experienced. Sorry.
I heard a nice story about AC Milan. After Hillsborough games across Europe held a silence, 8 minutes into the game the ref blew his wistle and the silence would start. However at AC Milan the fans broke the silence to sing "You'll Never Walk Alone". An example of how people rise above the relatively minor details of supporting a club.
Thanks for Sharing that story though.
