Yes, I remember it well and it will never be forgotten by anyone who was around at the time.........BUT why has no mention been made of 5th April 1902 when there were 25 fatalities at Ibrox, or more recently 16th September 1961 when 2 people died on Stairway 13?
Surely they deserve the same respect as those who died in 1971.

Happy new year Carolyn.
Gets forgotten a bit that disaster. I first learned about it cos I used to go to West Ham (to watch Arsenal but in the WH end) and they had a sign saying something like 'dont rush remember Ibrox' at the main exit. Very similar to Hillsborough when you look at the ages of those who perished. RIP.

Well said Ms Carolyn
I dont remember that one as it may not have been shown down
Any spectator that dies at any sporting even is tragic
Another sad day in football and our condolences to our Scottish friends
