Hillsborough group slams 'despicable' shirt worn by Manchester United fan arrested during FA Cup final

The Hillsborough Survivors Support Alliance has slammed the 'despicable' behaviour of a Manchester United fan who appeared to mock Liverpool over the 1989 tragedy.

The supporter was pictured wearing a United away shirt with the number 97 on the back with the words 'not enough' across the top. The words appear to be a mocking reference to the 97 Liverpool fans who died following the Hillsborough disaster. They died as a result a crush at the stadium in Sheffield during Liverpool's FA Cup semi-final with Nottingham Forest on 15 April 1989.

After a picture of the fan began circulating on social media, the Metropolitan Police Events Twitter account revealed officers had arrested a man on suspicion of a public order offence during the FA Cup Final at Wembley, in which Man City beat Man Utd.
