Football Focus Today - Margaret Aspinall - mother of one of the 96

[Fulwood Blade]

For the ones who watched football focus today, there was a moving tribute at the end from one of the mothers of the 96 about her son James, who was only 18 when sadly died at H'boro.

For me it was a stark and poignant reminder of 25 years ago.

For all us Blades going to Wembley tomorrow, I wish you and yours safe journey both there and back.

For all those who have criticised any form of tribute this weekend, you should go and watch it on iplayer and afterwards hold you head in shame. For all those involved on the day, 25 years ago, I hope you finally get what's coming to you.

Safe journey everyone.

I recall the minute's silence at Bramall Lane the following week. In those days they were routinely interrupted but you could have heard a pin drop that day.

Our first match after the disaster was in our 1-0 win at Chester and we had the minute's silence that was very well observed
