What about it? What is your point, have you got a point? Does that tragedy mean Liverpool players, fans and those bereaved families can’t discuss Hillsborough?

As a survivor of pen 3 that day, Thanks Aldo la, for all the goals, but more importantly all that you and many others did to help ALL who suffered, and still do to this day, a hero on the pitch, and a true human being off it. Y.N.W.A. J.F.T.97. and every-one affected.

I love Liverpool FC and John Aldridge this jnterview brought tears to my eyes and left me shook up God bless you John and all the Hillsborough victims 🙏

Let me just say this. John is the most genuine person who you could wish to meet. Walked past him in the airport one day as he was on the same flight to Dublin as myself. I said hello and he smiled back and said hello. Just that small gesture shows he's no prima Donna and a proper top bloke. Small things but big things make a difference. Certain other players should try to be half the person he is!

I was on the other side that day. Halfway line in the forest chairs. Huge respect to John. He was a fantastic player.

Good on Aldo for mentioning the Brian Laws head rub. As he acknowledges it looked terrible. Happy to hear their are no bad feelings between them.

I remember the incident and it did look bad. Full marks to Aldo for bringing it up here himself, and all evidence suggests that it was out of character.

I don't think football fans who are not Liverpool fans understand how much Hillsborough decimated Liverpool as a club for years, if it wasn't for the strength of the people at the club like aldo and Kenny to name a few, i think the pain would have been a million times worse than it already was, through their strength and will to give back to the fans who suffered that day is exemplary and what football can be all about when it's needed most 👍 YNWA

(MrJLc93) LFC fan here I watched it unfold, lived in London at the time and your spot on, it's impossible to understand how Hillsborough decimated the city and still people are decimated as I have friends in Liverpool - what a wonderful City and that includes Everton fans - the best City in England

The worlds best.. a man of the People regards from Denmark

What an amazing person Aldo is, Liverpool through and through. Can see his emotion still all these years later. ❤

I shed a tear listening to Aldo.

Forest fans were class that day

I was playing football that day....someone had the match on the radio...and as it unfolded...both teams just sat beside each other and listened in stunned silence.

The whole Hillsborough incident was absolutely tragic. 15 days after that match, Liverpool travelled to Glasgow to play Celtic in a charity match to raise money for the families and victims of the Hillsborough tragedy. I will never forget the 1 minutes silence before kick off and me standing in “The Jungle” area of Celtic Park. The silence was beyond eerie. God bless John Aldridge, he has a heart of gold 💛🙏

From a stockport county fan.. What a football legend..

You can see how raw emotion 😢 still in aldo's voice still to this day. It sickens me how these rival fans think its banter singing about Hillsborough. That tragedy could have been any team fans back in the 80s. Anyone who takes satisfaction in innocent fans losing their lives are absolute lowest of the low.

Good on you aldo ❤ I was there too that terrible day west stand ❤ you'll never walk alone

As a Man City fan this interview and this topic is so difficult to hear. Now as always my deepest condolences and sympathies to all affected , and to think they dragged the club and its city through the dirt during this time is criminal. ❤️

John is a great man.

Wow John to hear your personal experience is overwhelming to say the least - little do us fan's know exactly what the players went through - the details you described - we are all thankful to hear because those of us who do not live in Liverpool will never truly understand the impact to the City - the whole world was feeling sorrow - but wow can't say anymore really - truly devastating those poor LFC fans may they rest in peace always (Hats off to you John a striker who knew where the back off the net was).

I was on line street station that morning getting a train to Wigan and as I was in the station I saw a train leaving for Sheffield. Often wondered how many on that train didn't make it back. Awful day for so many people

What an amazing human being. John Aldridge, respect to you.

Great man. Great player ❤

Legend end off. Loved Aldo just glad he played for LFC oh and Ireland. Never forget him on the touchline against Mexico then goin on and scoring that header. ❤🇮🇪

I was surprised they played a replay......but there we go. Well said John! With a word that rings so loud, horrendous, it truly was....

Well done John. Not only was that powerful, I could feel your pain. Always here for you as you have been for Us

What a genuine bloke and horrendous to have gone through that. Respect. SAFC

Damm this guy is pure class. A gem of a man and a player. YNWA!

Legend aldo and a magnificent goalscorer from an oldham fan i saw your hat trick in 85 at oxford 5.2 v oldham superb and we all remember Hillsborough like it was yesterday as you said ..we will never forget that day at least the real football fans wont ..i can feel your hurt in this interview john you are a class act and to let this man go to spain was an absolutely monumental mistake

You forget that his goal v Mexico got us through through the group despite the 2-1 loss in '94! Aldo is 100% passion. Ireland & Liverpool legend

John as a Good Lad

Bloody love Aldo, one of us 💖

5 years later Aldo scored in World Cup 94. All important goal...

Fair play Aldo...im a Forest fan,nd that annoyed me what you done on Laws...however it pails into insignificance...RIP The 97

Aldo is solid. He was wonderful at Tranmere. These past few months, how we could have done with Aldo in the Liverpool front line. So many shots. So few went in. He knew where the net was. I will never in future omit to name him along with the great goal scorers: Rush, Dalgleish, Owen, Fowler, Suarez

I remember watching this unfolding on tv, a scouse kid was shouting he still had his ticket, he never said why he didn’t and hadn’t turned up earlier and handed his ticket in at the entrance. Very sad times for those who died

What a man 🌟🌟🌟

God bless you John Aldridge, Liverpool F.C and the Hillsborough 97.......YNWA!! ❤

John never had a bad word said about you loved all over the world

John Aldridge never stopped scoring or creating goals, wherever he went. Newport County, Oxford Utd (2nd Division & League Cup winner), Liverpool (Premier league and FA cup winner), Real Sociedad, Tranmere Rovers. Plus he scored 19 goals in 69 games for Ireland, and was an important team member at Euro 88 and the World Cups in 1990 and 1994 (scoring a crucial goal against Mexico in 1994 which helped Ireland progress to the knockout stages).

Everton fan here and I always thought he was a bit of a nob but credit to him, tough to listen to that and what he personally went thru, superb player who I hated lol, all the best to him tho. Pure striker.

I stood on the KOP as a 15 yr old kid from a cardiff council estate...First game of the session 1977...im 62 now...John talking about the small child's coffin..heartbreaking : RIP.. to all the families ,thoughts & prayers 2024 8th April....

Aldo, one of our own!

Just broke me watching this. Always thought he was a decent and genuine guy, Aldo. #JFT97

Always seem Liverpool fans in this issue why? They stopped other clubs being in Europe including the club he came from. He never mentions this at amy time.

fucking hell.

Then they were expected to carry on playing football - no counselling, distress and the trauma. Yes Arsenal talk about a hollow victory.

Not surprising that Arsenal won the title that season is it?

No one is going to tell me the Liverpool fans (not the ones who died) were totally blameless for what happened. Yes the Police made all sorts of errors but if people were orderly no one would have gotten crushed.

Read the reports the fans had nothing to do with it. No matter what you want to believe. It was a monumental cock up by the authorities. Those innocent fans were funnelled into already packed central pens when the ones either side had plenty of space. Do some research before spouting shite that the scum paper spewed out.
