Goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar, a couple of yards from the unfolding disaster, was one of the first to raise the alarm.
He said: "There were people with their faces pinned against the fence saying to me, 'Bruce, can you help me. We can't breathe'. So I asked a policewoman to open the gate and she said, 'We have to wait for our boss to give the word'."

Tony Edwards, the only professional ambulanceman to reach the Leppings Lane end, recalled what happened outside the ground. He said: " A policeman came to my window and said, ' You can't go on the pitch, they 're still fighting'."
---
But what haunts him most is the knowledge that he was the only paramedic trying to help. He said: "There were 42 ambulances, including mine, waiting outside the stadium. That means 80- odd trained staff could have been inside the ground. They weren't allowed in because they were told there was fighting.

Trevor Hicks was one of the few who got a loved one into Tony Edwards' ambulance. He was trying to resuscitate his 19- year- old daughter Sarah when he spotted her 15- year- old sister Victoria being placed into the ambulance.
Trevor tried to push Sarah in alongside her but the bodies were piled high and he had to lay her back on the pitch.
He said: " The ambulance started to move away. I saw the door close and I had to make a decision in that split-second. I thought 'the fella with Sarah knows what he's doing, I'll leave her with him and another ambulance will be along in a minute'."
Another one never came and both of his girls died. Trevor, now 63, added: "In the ambulance, I was sucking the vomit from Vicky's throat. I couldn't get rid of that taste for six months.
"A psychiatrist said I was either trying to hang on to the last contact with my daughters or it was guilt - I was punishing myself for not saving them.
"The hurt I suffered that day was so extreme I can't be hurt any more."

One man in particular, Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie, made a terrible miscalculation.
Under the headline THE TRUTH he cleared the front page to tell the world: "Some fans picked pockets of victims. Some fans urinated on the brave cops. Some fans beat up PC giving kiss of life.
The words that accompanied it claimed that " drunken Liverpool fans viciously attacked rescue workers as they tried to revive victims" and " police officers, firemen and ambulance crews were punched, kicked and urinated upon".
One anonymous copper was even quoted as saying that a dead girl had been abused, while fans " were openly urinating on us and the bodies of the dead".
-------
Fans, including myself, were interviewed by West Midlands CID, who were charged with finding out the causes of the disaster.
But the main thrust of their questions was how much people had drunk before the game and whether anyone travelling with them did so without a ticket. Bereaved parents told how, when they arrived in Sheffield on the night of April 15, their dead children were being treated as suspects in a criminal investigation.
All were asked how much their loved ones had had to drink.
It later turned out every corpse had been tested for alcohol content, with small amounts or nothing found in all of them.

No legal, moral or financial compensation came the families' way. The majority receiving little more than funeral expenses.
In contrast, 14 police officers who were " traumatised" by what they saw that day picked up £ 1.2million.

he ground engineer swore an affidavit to that effect which proved South Yorkshire Police had been lying when they told the inquest they couldn't see the extent of the crush from the control box.
This could not have been challenged at the inquests because, mysteriously, the CCTV tapes from the day were " stolen" and never found.

Jimmy McGovern said: "All the families ever wanted was for someone to put their hands up and be accountable for the deaths of their loved ones.
"But no one has said sorry. Now that runs contrary to basic human instincts. If we bump into each other, we both say 'Sorry'. It's a basic human response.
"But not in tragedies of this scale. They can't say sorry. It implies liability. That's why the families kept on fighting."

If you are a football fan you should remember them when you look around today's affluent, cage-free, well-stewarded, all-seater stadiums.
You should remember the agony they went through in the first Hillsborough Disaster and the suffering their families went through in the second one.
And you should never forget that for English football's bright tomorrow they gave their todays.
LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB, Who's bigger than Liverpool?
