Two of the fatal casualties were supporters of Lincoln City, Bradford’s opponents on its last game of the season, and 11 were children. Hundreds more spectators were injured, and thousands witnessed an event that many described as "the worst day of their lives"
30 years on from this terrible day in the history of English football, we remember those affected by this tragedy.
FA Chairman Greg Dyke and England manager Roy Hodgson attended the game between Bradford City and Barnsley at Valley Parade on 25 April when they left their own tributes to the victims of the disaster.
