Hillsborough tragedy strikes Gerrad.....

Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard has revealed the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough tragedy will have an extra significance for his family. Because he also lost his cousin Jon-Paul Gilhooley among the 96 people who died in the crush during Liverpool's FA Cup semi against Nottingham Forest.Gerrad is expected to attend the annual memorial service at Anfield on Wednesday. A two minute silence will be carried out in Liverpool, Nottingham and Sheffield at 1506 BST which will end when all civic, cathedral and church bells are rung 96 times. Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez and councilor Steve Rotheram will lay a scarf on the pitch and release 96 red balloons.
