96wne tattoo

A MANCHESTER United fan who got a sick tattoo taunting rivals Liverpool over the Hillsborough disaster has been forced into hiding after receiving death threats.

Dopey Danny Hornby had the words 96wne inked on to his back.

The meaning – “96 was not enough” – is a cruel reference to the 96 Reds fans who died after the tragedy at the FA Cup semi final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on April 15, 1989.

He then goaded Kopites by posting a ­picture of the offensive tatt on Twitter – sparking uproar from hundreds of ­ furious fans who threatened to break his limbs and even kill him.

Police had to step in and last night Hornby, 22, from Fleetwood, Lancs, was fearing for his life after fleeing his home with his girlfriend.

His mum Kath, dad Garry and younger sister Laura have also temporarily moved out of the terrace house after the address was plastered on scores of internet ­forums.

Former fish packer Hornby has since apologised for the stupid stunt and vowed to remove the tattoo – but police are ­concerned over possible attacks from ­rival supporters.

Reds fan Stephen Landers wrote on Hornby’s Twitter page: “It’s rather fitting the rat’s name is Hornby coz if I ever meet him I’ll break the c***’s arms n legs n leave him on the tracks.”

Another user posted: “There would be a sense of irony if police had to identify Danny Hornby’s body by that tattoo.”

Hornby’s face and home address were posted on Twitter and football forums ­before officers intervened.

Lancashire police advised him to ­remove the tattoo and move away until the threats subside.

Frightened Hornby then posted a series of pleas on Twitter.

He wrote: “Please do not involve my family as it’s nothing to do with them. I have given a voluntary interview 2 the ­police which they r investigating.”

He added: “I am not in Fleetwood nor staying with family or friends. I wish to apologise to everyone I’ve offended with regard to the tattoo, which is now covered.”

Last night the Hillsborough Justice Campaign branded the stunt “sad” but condemned the threats.

A spokesman said: “It’s sad that someone feels the need to decorate their body with such ­inflammatory ­comments.

“But we don’t condone any threats against him.”

Tick tock
 
Death threats are ridiculous. He's had sufficient humilation with this already and will never feel safe.

What does tickle me is that it's yet another U****d fan exposed for doing something pathetic who isn't from Manchester. If he's in Fleetwood then he should support the up and coming Fleetwood Town or Blackpool. Adam Teese is from Stockport (somewhere they accuse us of being from) and that scrote who tried to organise a "treasure hunt" which involved smashing our Shop up was from Rochdale.

It always the same when something like this happens, every dickhead with an internet access starts mouthing off about what they are going to do. Nobody ever comes out of it with any credit.
 
What a disgusting prick. I hate the rags as much as anyone but i am far too clever to realise that this sort of terrible event goes beyond football and effects people way beyond it and i would personally never consider something like this was an absolute horrible **** this guy must be and i am sure any decent united fan would distance themselves from this prick and condem him for this

I do however hope this guy does die by being crushed by a big object then i would create a twitter account and tweet his account #irony
