Talking about the disaster Dalglish said “It was something everyone wishes never happened but it is something that should never be forgotten, and I don't think it ever will. The 20th anniversary has been poignant and it has showed people that it is not going to go away."Tickets for the Hillsborough Memorial Game in aid of the Marina Dalglish Appeal are on sale now from the ticket office at Anfield, Liverpool's official website and the credit card booking line: 0844 844 0844.
