Skipper adds voice to UEFA plea
Steven Gerrard today added his voice to appeals for Liverpool not to play on the 20th anniversary of Hillsborough. The club has asked UEFA not to schedule its Champions League
quarter-final second leg for Wednesday, April 15 - the date 20 years
ago when 96 fans lost their lives. The governing body has said it will do its best - but has yet to confirm whether Liverpool's wishes will be granted.
Gerrard said: " We hope that UEFA show some common sense. You would
think they would accept the significance of the date for the people of
Liverpool, but unfortunately feelings like that don't always come into
it. We're still waiting to see whether UEFA will make us play on the
day. That would be far from ideal given all the emotion that always
surrounds the club on that day. It should be a time that Liverpool
Football Club remembers the people who were lost and their families. Hillsborough is always on my mind because I lost a member of my
family there and any success we get as a club this year will be
dedicated to those people who lost their lives. " - Liverpoolfc.tv
