A policeman stopped one woman trying to escape the crushes at the 1989 Hillsborough tragedy by yelling at her, ‘Get back in, you f***ing Scouse b*****d’, an inquest heard today.

Liverpool fan Alison Willis told the jury how officers ordered that she return to the packed Leppings Lane terrace where 96 supporters were killed.

Cops on duty at the Sheffield stadium instructed panic-stricken fans to stop climbing over the fence to get away, the coroner’s court in Warrington, Cheshire, heard.

Ms Willis told Jonathan Hough, counsel to the inquests: “They were shouting to get back in. In fact I was physically told to ‘get back in, you f***ing Scouse b*****d’.

“It’s not a false memory, I’ll never ever forget that.”

Getty Hillsborough Disaster
Horror: Only one ambulance made it into the ground
Ms Willis, who suffered cracked ribs and bruising to her legs and arms, said there was a policeman standing in front of them.

Mr Hough said: “What was he doing, as far as you could see?”

She replied: “Nothing.”

The fan added: “A lot [of police] just stood there looking and the others didn’t really know what to do.

“It was like they needed somebody to tell them what to do but nobody seemed to be telling"

Ms Willis, a Liverpool supporter who lived in Mansfield in 1989, revealed how she and five friends had bought tickets from a tout for the Spion Kop end of the stadium.

But recalling the ‘horrendous’ and unsafe’ standing in that end at the 1988 semi-final at Hillsborough the previous year, a policeman allowed to go in the opposite Leppings Lane end instead.

Despite not having a ticket for that part of the stadium, the six people were ushered inside and made their way to one of the most packed pens.


Ms Willis, who watched her boyfriend turn grey in the crush before he also escaped, told the jury she could hardly breathe, and added: “It was unbearable, absolutely unbearable.

“Other fans were helping one another, but other than that, nobody was helping them.

“It was utter chaos. Nobody knew what was happening. It seemed like nobody had no instruction.

“There was no leadership telling them what to do.”

After the disaster, Ms Willis was taken to Mansfield Police Station and had to be interviewed in a cell because of a lack of room, which she described as ‘intimidating’.

The inquests continue.

Bit of a mistake surely?

I hope that cop feels really good about himself and his actions.
