Everton Special '96' Tribute Tonight
13 comments
Bookmark and Share

Everton will show their solidarity for the victims of the Hillsborough disaster and their families by paying their own tribute at tonight's game with Newcastle.

Two mascots, one wearing a Liverpool kit and one an Everton kit, will lead out the teams at Goodison.Both mascots will have '96' on the back of their shirts in a show of support to the fans that died at the tragedy in 1989.

In addition, all the ball boys and girls will have '96' on their backs and there will also be a video montage on the giant screens. 

Just like in the FA Cup Semi-Final in April this year, let's hope every Evertonian in the ground is solidly behind this tribute and pays total respect and that the Geordies do too. Let's show our class once again.

As a cockney Liverpool Supporter - all my life- I would also like to thank you for your great support. The tragedy affected Liverpool Fans, but it could have been fans of any club. YNWA

Not sure if they will play you'll never walk alone (although its possible, Reading did it yesterday) but I have heard strong rumours of a mosaic in the park end being arranged, I think that would be a good tribute.

If it is going to be played tonight I am sure there will be a few arseholes who will object but please remember this is not about you,but a mark of respect to the 96 who died who went to watch a football game as you are tonight, but did not come home.So lets show them respect and if you cant just stay silent.

We have to remember that although they were Liverpool fans that died it has affected Evertonians also because we all have brothers, cousins, uncles who all support the other team in the same family. So it was all scousers who were affected. Full respect tonight boys for the heartbroken reds. Lets show the world we really are the peoples club #jft96

As a Liverpool fan I would like to thank Everton Football Club and particularly the fans for the class you have shown. Just as you did in 1989 and you are continuing with today. Thank you.

The media spotlight will be on us tonigt you can be sure of that. Let's hope we make it a momentous occasion and show the world that Everton football club as we know have the best fans in the world. PS Nice comments from the Reds fans as well, I know we have our differences but we have stood together as one for 23 years let's just hope justice can now prevail.

I have been a pool fans for 41years. Thank you Evertonians. Our rivalry on the field is just there, in other areas we are still one family in the City of Liverpool. Remembering 96 and it hurts for 23 long years! Now I can tell others, it wasn't us fans fault.
