((HT: BPL on NBC/BBC Sport))
It was one of those days...
With all the emotion of the Hillsborough anniversary coming Tuesday, Anfield was all behind the Reds- starting pre-game
And you thought, that if the script writers had their say, it would be a day that Liverpool fans would remember for a lot of reasons- a win that would get them that much closer to a Premier League title for the first time in almost a quarter-century... all that stuff that brings emotion with it...
It did... with an unlikely source for the back-and-forth, 3-2 win
And the emotion afterwards was all over the captain's face...
For those of you not aware, the captain lost his 10-year-old cousin at Hillsborough. Daniel Taylor of the Observer newspaper penned a piece in 2012 about how Gerrard carries the crush of the disaster deep inside and still hadn't read the independent panel's report from that year:
"The basic details are enough: that it was a cover-up, an orchestrated smear campaign that goes to the top of the country and constitutes a scandal of the worst form. He knows now – and this is the first point at which he lowers his eyes and his voice trails off – that South Yorkshire police tested Jon-Paul and all the other corpses for alcohol levels. But the rest? He is frightened what else he might find out. "That's the reason why I don't want to read it. It's too difficult, for my family and all the families. It's all over the papers, all over the TV. It brings it all back."
Tuesday will bring back a lot of memories, but hopefully, some hope along with it since the new inquiry may yield the answers the families are searching for...
The HQ can only hope...
