The Foundations of Manchester United and Liverpool have come together to deliver an education programme on the impact of tragedy-related abuse and why it must stop.
In the lead up to the Premier League fixture between the sides at Old Trafford on 7 April, the two Foundations invited schoolchildren from Manchester and Liverpool to Lord Derby School in Huyton for an afternoon learning about the tragic histories of the two great football clubs.
Wes Brown and Phil Thompson – who won 12 league titles and five European Cups between them for Liverpool and United, respectively – joined the session and spoke with students about the huge impact the Hillsborough and Munich disasters had on the two clubs, their fans, and the cities.
