The Manchester United legend has urged both the clubs to keep aside their rivalry for one moment and focus on the footballing as well as tragic side of things today.
Following the revelations made by the Hillsborough Committee that cleared http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 fans of any wrongdoing in 1989, the hotly anticipated fixture with Manchester United has become a major talking point as kick-off time draws closer.
Both the English giants have tragedy engraved into their history, with the Merseysiders suffering immensely because of what happened nearly 23 years ago.
However, United aren’t without their sad tale either, as the whole club was distraught when their brilliant ‘Busby Babes’ cruelly died in an accident in Munich. The plane carrying the players and officials crashed in 1958 and forever changed the destiny
of the side, with Sir Matt Busby later taking them to an iconic European Cup win ten years later.
If anyone can relate to Liverpool’s current predicament, then it’s their arch-rivals, who themselves are looking to be on their best behaviour as they travel down the M15.
Lou Macari will be just one of the legends who will make the trip down to watch the but remains determined to a see a footballing contest, not vulgarity between the two sets of fans.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Scotland-c756 International claimed that the United supports should refrain from causing any unnecessary trouble and that the Scousers themselves should also try to keep the atmosphere as friendly as possible.
“Everyone has got to get their house in order to make sure we have a day to remember at Anfield. Everything has to be spot on. After the Olympics, the Paralympics and other fantastic occasions during the summer it’s embarrassing when football comes around
and we are wondering who is or who isn’t going to shake someone’s hand,” said Macari.
“If the powers-that-be insist this pre-match ritual continues then they should introduce deterrents to stop players carrying on the way they are."
United haven't away to Liverpool in quite some time now, but with the return of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson will be hoping that his side can turn around their woeful away form.
