George Sephton, for 53 years the man behind the microphone at Anfield, was held at gunpoint at three consecutive European Cup finals. He talks of the Heysel disaster, how it unfolded, the aftermath and the long term effects of Heysel and Hillsborough on Liverpool FC.
We discuss the Hillsborough survivors’ trauma, some of the causes of the Hillsborough disaster, how the Police caused the crush outside the Leppings Lane turnstile and Chief Superintendent David Duckenfield’s incompetence. The cover up, and finally we get the truth but not justice.
