Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt has apologised after suggesting that hooliganism played a part in the Hillsborough football disaster.

Ninety-six Liverpool fans were crushed to death on 15 April 1989 at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough stadium.

He praised the England fans at the 2010 World Cup saying the "terrible problems" of "Heysel and Hillsborough in the 1980s seem now to be behind us".

Investigations have found that violence played no part in the tragedy.

Mr Hunt was giving an interview following England's exit from the World Cup, where he applauded the behaviour of fans.

Apologising afterwards, he said: "I know that fan unrest played no part in the terrible events of April 1989 and I apologise to Liverpool fans and the families of those killed and injured in the Hillsborough disaster if my comments caused any offence."

The Prime Minister's official spokesman has said that David Cameron has full confidence in Mr Hunt.

Shocked that Dave missed this, what a complete and utter tit.

There you go, at least the Tories aren't too transparent in their disdain for the city.

Silver spoon arsed f*ckwits.

The police didn't supervise the fans properly and because of that they all headed into the same sections where the fences to the sides of each section prevented people dispersing - that's what killed the 96, nothing else

The Hooligan / alcohol arguement is a red herring put out by incompetent police and the Sun who tried to make it look like the fans were reponisible

Incompetent police + bad design = a tragedy that was completely avoidable

RIP the 96
