A man has been charged after wearing a shirt making a vile reference to the Hillsborough disaster at the FA Cup final yesterday
Pictures circulating on social media showed what appeared to be a Manchester United fan wearing a shirt with the number 97 accompanied by the words: "Not enough".
There were 97 victims in the 1989 stadium crush at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough, Sheffield. James White, 33, of Warwickshire, was charged on Sunday with displaying threatening or abusive writing likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress. Some 22 more people were arrested at the final for offences including assault, affray, possession of drugs and drunk and disorderly behaviour, police said.
Officers are also investigating an item that was thrown onto the pitch after the Manchester United goal in the first half.
