Liverpool and Manchester United have come together to deliver a programme on the impact of tragedy related abuse and chanting in football.
The initiative comes in advance of the side meeting in the Premier League on 7 April.
Phil Thomspon and Wes Brown who won multiple league titles and European Cups between them for the two clubs spoke to students about the impact of both the Hillsborough and Munich disasters on the clubs, fans and cities.
“This is a hugely important event which both clubs are committed to making happen every year. Our two proud Foundations coming together to show young people, and all others, how we stand united against tragedy chanting is a very powerful message,” Matt Parish, CEO of the LFC Foundation said.
“Education is key, alongside appropriate action, to eradicating vile tragedy chanting in all its forms forever, and we’re delighted to be able to do our bit to help.”
