RIP to the 97 Liverpool fans who went to this match & never returned
It's hard to believe it actually happened even to this day. May they Rip 🙏 and will never be forgotten. I am from Limerick Ireland. Met John Aldridge in a Limerick pub in 2008 and shook his 👋 hand.😊
McCartney elevates this song to another level
This is the day ... we all lost 96 family members ... I came home ... why not them ... I hate myself ... there was one fella who grabbed my hand .. and looked at me in my eyes and said sorry .. he let go of my hand ... I swear .. I wish I could find him ... to thank him for doing everything he could do ... who grabbed the hand of an Indian fella ... ??? if it was you ... please get in touch ... I have so much to thank you for ...
At 3.11 we see the genius of McCartney and the power of the place that made him. My thoughts will always be with the familes.
Anyone know the running order of this masterpiece who sang which part
Bruh, wth I talking about. The genius is from 0:00 until 4:00.
Damn, Garry Christian could melt chocolate with that voice.
It is amazing. The Christians were excellent anyway and he delivered a great vocal on this record. Everyone did and the harmonising it first class. Paul McCartney really lets rip towards the end in a way that is quite different to his usual singing style it seems to me, although fans of The Beatles may disagree (this land's the place we love....) I must admit I don't know all of their work as well as some music fans do!
At the time that this video was created, Tony Bland was still alive albeit in a persistent vegetative state. Sadly he died a few years later to become the 96th victim. Fast forward to 2021 and Andrew Devine was added to the list as the 97th victim having lived for a further 32 years after the tragedy. May those two men and all those who died continue to Rest in Peace.
Dignified update, well done Glenn YNWA
They will, with proper people like you publicly mentioning updates like this YNWA all🏁
Was there that day. Never thought in my life i would see dead people in rhose circumstances, but unfortunately i did. Always think of the 96. Never forgotten, always in our hearts. A tragedy of a human making. Go to watch what should have been a great football natch, but never came hone that day. Cried for them.
No one should go to a football match & never come back YNWA Justice for the 96
RIP Gerry Marsden :(
2022 you will never be forgotten!
2020 never forgotten.
96 Angel's you will never walk alone. 💔💔💔💔💔
R.i.p......
I know we can't bring them back, but surely remembering the 96 and their families.
, and enjoying the tribute above is respectful
How can anyone do thumbs down at this. They are without at heart, either that or are ignorant.
The same pondlife that buy that vile rag of an excuse of a newspaper.
Just thick?

Sheffield never forgets the 96 or their families. You'll never walk alone. 💔💔💔💔😢😢😢😢🎀🎀🎀🎀🎈🎈🎈🎈
R.I.P to THE LIVERPOOL 96. THEY WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
I'm old enough to have seen the match on telly live, but young enough to not understand why the game was stopped back in the day. Grew up a Man United fan, but some things transcend petty things like football. RIP to the 97 .
It’s still so fresh in my memory watching it all unfold that day justice for the 97 ynwa
Sir Paul McCartney and Gerry Marsden performing such a beautiful rendition of this song. I wish this was still in print.
Dean Morrow To be fair, Holly Johnson and Roger Christian also did a good job.
Dean Morrow Because it was so personal.
They all done an amazing job soo such love and feeling went into to this song but Pauls bit in 3. 11 gets me all the time ❤️
@@colinbaker3916 Yes they did.
Such a bad day for football the 96 will never be forgotten
Outstanding vocals. ❤
As a kid I went to Palace v Portsmouth that day. My first ever 'big match'. I shall always have poignant memories. RIP 💐
R.i.p to the 96 liverpool fans who lost there lives and they will never be forgotten,
What a lovely tribute to our departed fans they will never walk alone Liverpool forever 💙❤
1:14 John Paul Gilhooley is Steven Gerrard's cousin. The youngest victim of Hillsborough. RIP to all the 97 #YNWA
Our hearts broke across the world in Australia that day. Such young lives taken so tragically. We will never forget. Fly free sweet angels.
RIP to the 96 Liverpool fans that never came home, from a Manchester United fan xx
...and respect to those who passed away in Munich '58. from a Liverpool fan.....
@@seanbonella respect to you as well, there is no point in being hateful.
97 now x
makes me cry😢😢
God Bless.........!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P. xx
RIP Gerry Marsden
A greatest tribute with the best quality of PWL.
It was a horrible day. Just wish I could have done more to help my fellow Liverpool fans.
Still hard to believe it happened even to this day. I met John Aldridge and shook his ✋ hand in a pub in Limerick Ireland 🇮🇪 in 2008. He was doing a quiz. All those who died in Hillsborough 🙏 Rip.
This was the tragic event that led to the Taylor report that stated that all football clubs were given a period of time to get their stadiums in order by installing seating and also removing penning in the supporters like we were cattle.
Enjoy ever day that you are alive and healthy. Do not worry about big jobs, houses and flash cars. Enjoy watching Soccer, Rugby and Hurling. I am from Limerick Ireland.
As well as listening to Johnny Logan. He is from Ireland too.
Rest In Heaven Gerry Marsden
Such a terrible day, lovely tribute
I was at Hillsborough my best friend died I will always love Liverpool fc
So sorry to hear that 😢. I was only 15 in April 1989 living in Iimerick Ireland.Its still hard to believe it happened even to this day.I met John Aldridge in a Limerick pub about 16 years ago doing a quiz. I will be 51 in June 6th this year😊.
This hit from The Christians, Holly Johnson, Paul McCartney, Gerry Marsden & Stock Aitken Wateman was the 402nd #1 song in the United Kingdom of the Rock Era.
97, ❤❤❤❤❤

Beautiful song by alot of fantastic singers and great Tribute to Liverpool supporters who lost their lives at Hillsborough may they all r. I. P.
I would love to know what Bill Shankley would have thought about the Hillsborough disaster if he had lived another couple of years?

There could be more liverpool fans in the pipeline that never returned home
Its so sad what happened my thoughts are with the families, from middlesbrough x
Beautiful 🎉🎉
*PLEASE* watch Anne. It’s beyond phenomenal.
I agree what a very special lady Anne Williams was. She fought tirelessly for the truth. Now reunited with her lad Kevin. Maxine Peake portrayed her brilliantly x RIP Anne, Kevin and the other 96 victims of Hillsborough x
Super !

i agree
SO TRUE 😭
Who sings that part. The passion
Very true

Bellissima versione
97 now 😢🎉😂 please
30th years now
timeless if you are an LFC fan...which I am,,,
i'm a man u fanatic. but there should be #justiceforthe96. no more police coverups. admit you were in the wrong police!
I was only 6 when this disaster happened but watched a documentary this evening with the families and friends of those lost, no words to describe how all those people must have felt, someone needs to take responsibility for that, it didn’t have to happen from what I’ve seen it should have been avoided
😊

Hi, Sad. Just read the report from the Echo. Also said they arrested 2 men 29 and 40. Did the charges not stick?
The bit we're shanks raises his arms in triumph just gets me, am glad that shanks was never here to see hillsborough, the great man would of cried a river 😢😢
Y.N.W.A
Wonder if they asked OMD to get involved
I bought this single back in 1989. The vocals are outstanding. Can anyone tell me which artist sings during this track and at which point?
So, I'll give it a try. I am not quite sure regarding the Christians (and they probably sang some lines in unison) and Geryy Marsden but certain about Holly Johnson and Paul McCartney's lines.
Life goes on day after day [Gerry Marsden]

People around every corner [Holly Johnson]
They seem to smile and say [Holly Johnson]

So I'll continue to say [Christians?]

@@str.77 first line of the first and second paragraph plus third of the second and fourth of the third paragraph is Paul McCartney
Pardon me. I cry every time I see this. Am I a soft 'nana? lol
No you're not because I shed tears as well. Next April after I write this will be 30 years since it happened!
Andrew Lang no you’re not, I am a Manchester United fan I cry at this too.
You’re not a soft ‘nana dude, you’re human and doing the same thing that any human would do. It’s such an emotional song considering. I always get emotional when I listen (heck, I’m crying whilst writing this)
Selbst in der kommunistischen DDR wurde mit Mitgefühl und Anteilnahme über dieses furchtbare Unglück berichtet. Selbst dort zeigte man Menschlichkeit. Ich kann mich noch gut daran erinnern.
I HOPE you (YOU in INTERNATIONAL the PROGRAM) you want HELP me.
