Grobbelaar: We counselled Hillsborough families

Bruce Grobbelaar says the Liverpool players were helped by counselling the affected families in the aftermath of the Hillsborough disaster.

The former Liverpool goalkeeper was the closest player to the Leppings Lane end when the tragedy took place.

"We were told that we needed to go and counsel all the fans," he told 5 live Sport's Kelly Cates.

"We had different families to go to and knock on their doors. It was ingenious because it actually counselled the players as well."

The programme will be available to download as a podcast shortly after on the 5 live website.
