‘I feared for my life’: Liverpool fans on their Champions League final traumas

theguardian.com

I am a survivor of the crush at Hillsborough in 1989; I was 23 then. I was unconscious in “pen” 4 on the terraces, and suffered three broken ribs.

It was only through PTSD therapy many years later that I was able to recall what happened when I came to, how I survived and got out.

What we were put through in Paris has caused me further trauma; I’m now having therapy for PTSD from that. The point that triggered it was when we were stuck coming out of the subway under the A1.

It was simply not designed to take thousands of people. That’s when I feared for my life, held in that queue to the checkpoint that was barely moving, with no way back and no way forward.
