April 15, 1989 was the darkest day in the history of English sport — an FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest where 97 Liverpool fans lost their lives. Reporter Garry Mac Donncha travels to Liverpool to meet John Aldridge (pictured with Garry), one of four Irishmen playing for Liverpool that day, who found it hard to speak about the disaster for years. Garry also talks to George Hamilton, who was commentati­ng for RTÉ on the match as the horrific scenes unfolded, and he meets Peter Breen, who was nine-years-old when his dad brought him over to the match in Hillsborou­gh.
