ClubHillsborough shirt donated to Liverpool FC Museum
A special shirt has been donated to the Liverpool FC Museum and will become a permanent and poignant exhibit as part of its display remembering the Hillsborough disaster.
Brian Ibell was the assistant general manager of Sheffield’s Northern General Hospital at the time of the tragedy on April 15, 1989, in which 97 supporters were unlawfully killed.
In recognition of Brian and his team’s tireless efforts to save lives, both on the day and in the aftermath, he was later presented with a Reds shirt that had been worn during the opening minutes of the FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest.
This was signed by the whole Liverpool side and subsequently delivered to him on the wards of the hospital by then-manager Kenny Dalglish, alongside his players, as a message of gratitude.
Brian, a Forest fan, wanted the jersey to be kept at Anfield henceforth and personally handed it over to LFC ambassador Ian Rush and museum curator Stephen Done during a presentation event at the stadium today.
