Liverpool FC is saddened by the recent rise in vile chants about the Hillsborough disaster.

We know the impact these abhorrent slurs have on the families of the 97, those who survived, and all associated with this club.

We are working with the relevant authorities to do our utmost to ensure these chants are eradicated from football altogether and, where appropriate, bring the full force of the law and the game’s sanction process down on those who continue to sing them.
