How a football match turned into an unthinkable tragedy

 Please note that this episode contains discussions of death, trauma, and injustice that some listeners may find distressing.

The Hillsborough disaster of 1989 remains the worst tragedy in football history. 96 Liverpool fans lost their lives during an FA Cup semi-final match, and the aftermath of the disaster was marred by a cover-up that denied justice to the victims and their families for decades. In this episode, we examine the Hillsborough cover-up and its lasting impact on football British society. We also explore how the Hillsborough disaster exposed deep-seated problems in football culture and the broader establishment, and how the fight for justice dragged on for far too long.
