Mate of mine was there, in that end. We didn’t know if he was alive or not until he got home later that night. No mobile phones then and the red phone boxes were in pretty high demand. His mum was frantic. A lad from a local school died.Remember it vividly. Word was going around the crowd at Ewood all day. Back then your only news source were blokes with radios. It went from “injuries” to “10 dead” to “20 dead” etc. My dad drove me home after the game and we sat in total silence listening to the radio as the death toll mounted. It was surreal.
