The Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard has appealed to European football bosses to make sure the club does not play on the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.
The English club has asked UEFA not to schedule its Champions League quarter-final, second leg for Wednesday, April 15th.
The date will mark 20 years since 96 Liverpool fans lost their lives at the Hillsborough stadium in Sheffield which was hosting the club's FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest.
Gerrard, who lost a cousin at Hillsborough, says he hopes UEFA show some common sense... you'd think they would accept the significance of the date for the people of Liverpool, but unfortunately feelings like that don't always come into it.
