HILLSBOROUGH:
THE THIRD INJUSTICE

At almost three years old, Anthony is unknowingly confronted with a prophetic encounter when a police constable challenges him about his golden boxing gloves. This moment marks the beginning of his journey, one where fate seems to be guiding him toward a critical part in a future tragedy. One day before his thirteenth birthday, Anthony narrowly survives a horrific road traffic accident that might have claimed his life. This brush with death, accompanied by the guidance of an angel, signals his deep connection to the Hillsborough disaster-a tragedy that would soon claim 97 lives.

The UK Prime Minister’s acknowledgment of the Hillsborough disaster as a ‘double injustice’ only deepens Anthony’s belief in a third, untold injustice. Over the course of the
next 35 years, Anthony embarks on a mission to expose truths within the disaster, holding onto crucial evidence while fearing for his life. As the years pass, Anthony finds himself at the center of a complex investigation, holding onto key pieces of evidence- surrounding the disaster’s ‘trigger’ and stolen real-time CCTV footage-that could change things profoundly. Despite assurances of protection, Anthony faces escalating psychological distress as he uncovers anomalies in the evidence, raising doubts about the integrity of the investigation.

In 2016, Anthony steps forward with his vital evidence, but soon faces a wave of intimidation and threats. His findings expose critical flaws in the police evidence, adding to the growing complexity of the case. As the Hillsborough investigation progresses and new revelations emerge, Anthony must navigate a precarious path of truth and danger. With the upcoming release of the IOPC report in 2025, Anthony’s pursuit of justice for the 97 victims continues, while he awaits a final resolution that could bring closure-or force him into an even more dangerous confrontation with the authorities.
