Jurgen Klopp has paid tribute to the 96 on the 31st anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, telling those affected by the tragedy “you have our love.”
April 15, 2020 marks the 31st anniversary of 96 fans losing their lives at Hillsborough, but the coronavirus pandemic has forced the planned memorial service at Anfield to be postponed.
Klopp has therefore delivered a message via Liverpool’s social media accounts, remembering the 96 and giving his best wishes to the families and those impacted.
“Today is the most significant day for our football club each year,” he said.
“The plan was that we were together at Anfield today, but this is not possible. The only thing that we can make sure is that we are in each other’s thoughts, and believe me, you are in our thoughts.
“You have our thoughts, you have our prayers, and most of all, you have our love. You’ll never walk alone.”

Today marks 31 years since 96 innocent people went to a football game and never returned home.
The thoughts of everyone from Redmen TV are with the 96 and the family and friends of those affected.

They are not just 96 people. They are not just 'The 96'. They are mates, dads and lads, couples, parents, sons and daughters. They are people, loved and cherished.
Every one of the 96 people who died at Hillsborough has a story.

Due to the postponement of the Hillsborough memorial service, the club are set to hold a minute’s silence in memory of the 96 on Wednesday.
Flags will be flown at half-mast across the club throughout the day, as Merseyside remembers the 96.
