I can remember seeing this clip at the time but I've never seen it since.
It was just four days after Hillsborough and AC Milan were playing Real Madrid in a European Cup semi-final at the San Siro.
As the match is going on the referee blows his whistle and the whole ground falls silent before a ripple of applause rings out.
Then, and this is the bit which will never fail to move me, the Milan supporters start singing You'll Never Walk Alone in honour of the Liverpool dead.
I'd always wanted to see it again because I think it is one of the most magnificent displays of solidarity between fans that there has ever been.

In some people's eyes only the league title will do, particularly after an 18 year wait.
Having been to two Champions League finals in three years I think most of us would be happy if the league was our priority this time around (especially as I'd imagine even the friendliest of bank managers are probably getting tired of us turning up with the begging bowl every other May).
But what would you be happy with this season?
Would a significant closing of the 21 point gap which left us well adrift of Man United last season make you content?

Pre-season is alway dull as friendly matches tend to be about as exciting as a night in with Trevor Francis.
This pre-season has been no different to any others with Liverpool going through the motions against teams they could hammer if it mattered.
Improving fitness and team bonding is the main thing at this time of year so it would be foolish in the extreme to expect flowing football and games that keep you on the edge of your seat (maybe someone should tell Sky!).
But last night something different happened, something I can't remember ever seeing at a Liverpool friendly in all my life - the lads got involved in a bit of a scrap.
