    Rest In Peace Divvy , Andrew Devine , Hillsborough

    My scouse mate during college years

    He took me to Anfield , I wasn't impressed , I took him to see City at Bury etc and he loved it

    One of the first people to be pulled over the barriers I saw divvy in the Royal Hallamshire Hospital and stuck a small ccfc welshdragon banner on his wall

    Every Christmas since them I have exchanged Xmas cards with his family . He was cared for 24 7 by his devoted mother till he died

    Rest in Peace Andrew Divvy Devine

    Rest in Peace Andrew Divvy Devine
    Another Hillsborough victim and a tragic (and avoidable) waste of a life. So sorry for your friend and his family.

    The tragedy continues, what a loving family that lad had, R.I.P to another victim of colossal incompetence.

    What an awful tragedy that day was which was worsened by cover up after cover up. Where was justice in the political or judicial system for the families?

    To have had to have cared for your son in these circumstances for so many decades that birthed only false hope and remain sane was a superhuman effort of the human spirit.

    RIP Andrew Devine
    May his memory be a blessing.

    So sad.
    I wonder how many other families are still caring for those who suffered life changing injuries on that terrible day.
    I am relieved aswell that his cause of death has been recorded as unlawful, recognising the brain damage received, rather than the pneumonia (I think) he had at the end.
    RIP

    How many are fit and well on the outside yet inside after all these years are still thinking, ‘Why me? Why did I survive, when a mate or mates alongside them perished? Dreadful, horrible experience it must have been with so many more victims that it seems, fans with hidden turmoil, tragic.

    22 , Jesus christ

    He messed up his first year, he was doing chemistry

    Useful footballer

    One of the first people I met in the student flats , bumped into him in the TV room , talked football and he was soon coming with me to city games locally

    We got trounced on a Tuesday night at Bury once and he was walking around shaking everyone's hand saying I am a scouser but you are my second team , the football is crap but what a laugh I am having

    People talk about "closure" these days, but it's not always possible is it.

    Thank you Bob

    It could have happened to Cardiff City and people on here would be talking still about a uncle or brother or son or daughter or friend they had lost
