Down under mate!
So it's 33 years since the tragic events of Hillsborough, I thought it was fitting to quote a poem I came across today. :(

I’m an Evertonian
As bitter as the next
But for one day each year
I give that a rest

I spare a thought for those lost
And take some time
To remember the 15th of the 4th, 1989

I take off my blue tinted specs and see
This isn't any normal anniversary
It’s one of sorrow for a cup semi turned black
For lads and girls who went to a footy match
And never came back

This day’s not about the beautiful game
It’s about remembering them
And justice for those who are to blame
2019 marked 30 years

The service at Anfield
Moved me to tears
I watched with pride,
A blue shirt on it’s own
Paying respects
In their Liverpool home

Sharing the grief
But his scarf held high
For at the end of the storm
There’s a golden sky

For just one day a year,
Forget they’re red and white
Say a prayer, spare a thought,
take a minute unite

And never forget this terrible shame
As our laurel wreaths embrace their eternal flame

As we all come together
Blue and red power
The Liverbird
Prince Rupert’s tower
Remember 97 brothers and sisters
Who never came home

Nil Satis Nisi Optimum ❤

You’ll Never Walk Alone.

Lost, but never forgotten.

RIP.
