We’re proud to be the first Supporters’ Trust to back the call for a ‘Hillsborough Law’. The law would impose a duty on all public officials to be truthful at inquiries into public tragedies, and would give the families affected access to adequate resources to support their pursuit of justice.
Spurs fans were on the Leppings Lane terrace for an FA Cup semi-final in 1981. Tragedy was narrowly averted that day, but the warnings of ordinary people - and of football fans especially - were ignored. On 15 April 1989, 96 fans lost their lives on that same terrace including Spurs supporter Colin Andrew Sefton, who had driven his Liverpool mates to the match. The 97th victim, Andrew Devine, sadly passed away over 32 years later from injuries sustained at Hillsborough.
No decent human being can fail to be angered at the attempts to cover up what happened that day, or to be moved by the dignity and determination of the families in their fight for justice. A Hillsborough Law would go a long way towards ensuring that no one, in any circumstance, has to go through what they have been subjected to.
We are proud to back this campaign and urge everyone to lobby their MPs and to build support for it.
We have also asked Tottenham Hotspur FC to join Liverpool FC, Everton FC and Brighton & Hove Albion FC in backing calls for the law to be established and await the Club’s response.
