Kids 'in tears' after vile Hillsborough chants sung at Liverpool FC fans

Children were "left in tears" after vile Hillsborough chants were sung at a number of Liverpool supporters following the 2-1 away at Tottenham Hotspur.

Dom Clark was in London for Liverpool's match against Tottenham on November 6 when he and a number of other fans had chants directed at them saying "always the victims", in reference to the Hillsborough disaste,r as they waited for the train at White Hart Lane Station. When one fan, who was also a survivor of the tragedy, shouted back that she almost died, it's claimed a Spurs fan replied "f**k Hillsborough and "we couldn't play in Europe because of you lot".

Two children, aged eight and 12, were also the target of fans, estimated to be between 55 and 65 years old, with them both reportedly breaking down in tears as they were screamed at by Spurs fans. The two girls, who were accompanied by their dad at the station, had been to just their second game away from Anfield, with the first being the Champions League final in Paris earlier this year that saw traumatic scenes.
