A Liverpool FC fan caught in "horrific" crushes at the Champions League final in Paris has been reunited with a steward who hugged her as she sobbed.
Anita Gillen, a LFC season ticket holder for over 20 years, previously told the ECHO of the terror she experienced outside Stade de France before the game at the end of May. Anita was caught at the front of the queue when the crush at the turnstiles started before being pulled to safety by a police officer just before the gates closed.
Anita, who was on her own at the stadium, said she felt "really vulnerable" before the events began and "absolutely terrified" once the crush started. The 55-year-old from Parkgate told the ECHO she was pulled through the barriers before being embraced by a UEFA steward as she sobbed.
