Taylor issues new apology for Hillsborough comments

Gordon Taylor has issued a new apology through the Professional Footballers' Association website for appearing to compare Ched Evans' attempt to clear his name with the Hillsborough disaster.

I would like to apologise unreservedly for linking the Hillsborough case with the situation involving Ched Evans.

The last thing I intended to do was to upset anybody connected to the Hillsborough tragedy, I can only apologise.

I know the people involved and I will be very happy to ring them and let them know that.

The point I was making was not to embarrass or upset anybody at all among the Liverpool supporters.

– PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor.
