Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler has apologised to Liverpool fans after he appeared to describe the Hillsborough tragedy as a 'hooligan-related issue'.
When asked about commentating on the first Premier League game 30 years ago on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, the 76-year-old said that football 'was in a bit of a crisis at that time'.
Tyler added that 'we weren't that long after Hillsborough and other hooligan related issues'.
Speaking to presenter Martha Kearney, he said: 'It was very pioneering. We didn't know how the restructuring of the league would work.
