The full shocking horror of what happened on the night of the European Championship final is laid bare in this report.
It was a miracle no-one was killed that day.
I have never seen such horrific scenes at a football match.
It was sheer carnage before and during the game.
I watched at Gate F and Gate G before the game and I saw several dozen drunken “fans” storm the turnstiles.
A steward was threatened with a knife, a woman fan seriously sexually assaulted.
The young inexperienced steward told me: “The man showed me the knife and said ‘you ARE going to let me in’.
“What was I going to do? I earn £8.90 an hour – I’m not getting stabbed for that.”
One woman stopped me to say she had been subjected to a very serious sexual assault in the crush outside as a man threatened her and tailgated her to get through the turnstiles.
And I will never forget the horrendous wails of a weeping boy as his father desperately tried to console him.
Everyone was at fault. The police, UEFA, the FA, Wembley.
This must never be allowed to happen again.
