Highlights of the last ever VFL Grand Final before the comp became the AFL. Many say this was the greatest Grand Final in VFL/AFL History. This was a day when Dermott Brereton and Gary Ablett became greats of the game.

Ninety-six Liverpool football fans lost their lives when they went to watch a game on 15th April 1989.

More than 50,000 people gathered at the Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield, England, for the FA Cup Semi-Final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.

In order to relieve a bottleneck of Liverpool fans trying to enter the venue before kickoff, police opened an exit gate and people rushed to get inside.

More than 3,000 fans were funneled into a standing-room-only area with a safe capacity of just 1,600. The obvious crush in the stands prompted organisers to stop the game after six minutes.

Johnson battled back to start Game 3, but went scoreless in five minutes before withdrawing from the series for good. Already vulnerable after playing all series without Byron Scott, the Lakers lost to the Detroit Pistons in four games.
