THE FINDINGS OF the Hillsborough Independent Panel’s report into the 1989 stadium disaster which killed 96 Liverpool fans reverberated through English football last week.

On Monday evening, Everton set footballing rivalry aside and paid a very special tribute to their Merseyside brethren ahead of their 2-2 draw against Newcastle United.

As the Hollies’ classic “He Ain’t Heavy… He’s My Brother” played over the tannoy, two young fans wearing Everton and Liverpool kits bearing the numbers “9″ and “6″ held hands in the centre circle and Goodison Park rose as one to applaud the memory of the city’s dead.
