Flowers laid at the Kop after Hillsborough disaster

A SHOCKING video mocking Liverpool fans being crushed at Hillsborough has been posted on internet site YouTube.

The footage, posted by someone claiming to be a Manchester United fan, has caused outrage on Merseyside.

Hillsborough Family Support Group secretary Phil Hammond, whose 14-year-old son Philip was one of the 96 victims of the 1989 tragedy, today said he was shocked and sickened by the YouTube entry which is entitled “muppets on a fence”.

He said: “Doesn’t anyone monitor what goes on websites like this?

“If it is a Man United fan, they need to have a look at themselves, specially after what happened when they played in Lille a couple of weeks back.”

The gruesome sequence begins with a picture of graffiti sprayed on a wall yards from United’s Old Trafford ground which reads: “Welcome you murdering Scouse ba****ds”.

It then cuts to horrifying footage from Hillsborough, showing:

* The chaos outside the ground prior to kick-off.

* Liverpool fans being crushed against fences in the Leppings Lane end.

* People desperately trying to escape the carnage.

* Stricken fans being carried away on stretchers.

* Fans being resuscitated on the pitch.

* The reviled front page of the Sun newspaper, headlined The Truth.

The sequence ends with a graphic of a Red Devil, Man United’s emblem, urinating against the Hillsborough memorial at Anfield, followed by the message 96 Was Not Enough.
