A Labour MP has called on the Premier League to act urgently following a rise in vile Hillsborough chants at various Liverpool games.
Reds fans have been subject to disgusting taunts in recent weeks, including opposition fans chanting 'always the victims, it's never your fault' - a cruel jibe with links to the disaster that took the lives of 97 Liverpool supporters. Manchester City were forced to issue an apology condemning the chants and promising to punish any fans caught singing them.
Just one week later, a number of fans of Nottingham Forest - the very club who were at Hillsborough on that day in 1989 - aimed the same song towards the Liverpool away end. And now Labour MP for West Derby Ian Byrne, a Hillsborough survivor and leader of the Real Truth Legacy Project, has written to the league in a bid to force action and education.
