Sky Sports broadcaster Martin Tyler has issued an apology over comments he made about the Hillsborough disaster today,
The veteran commentator was speaking on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme, discussing 30 years of the Premier League, when he referred to 'Hillsborough and other hooligan related issues ' in words that have understandably caused great anger. It is widely known and accepted that disgraceful slurs made about Liverpool fans and hooliganism related to the 1989 disaster are untrue, as was clarified at the 2016 inquests which found Liverpool fans were unlawfully killed.
The comments have caused understandable anger for Hillsborough survivors, family members of those who were unlawfully killed and Liverpool fans who have found themselves once again having to point out the truth of what happened. The BBC has already apologised for not 'robustly' challenging Mr Tyler on his comments.
