Boris 'sorry' for Hillsborough article
The Mayor of London Boris Johnson has apologised for an editorial article in The Spectator magazine when he was editor in 2004 about Liverpool fans being partly to blame for the Hillsborough disaster:
FA chairman offers 'a full and unreserved apology'
Football Association chairman David Bernstein offered "a full and unreserved apology" to all those affected by the Hillsborough disaster.
The ground did not have a valid safety certificate at the time of the match.
Mr Bernstein said in a statement: "We are deeply sorry this tragedy occurred at a venue the FA selected.
"This fixture was played in the FA's own competition, and on behalf of the Football Association I offer a full and unreserved apology and express sincere condolences to all of the families of those who lost their lives and to everyone connected to the city of Liverpool and Liverpool Football Club."
