Hillsborough inquests: Jury shown 1981 footage

The jury at the new inquest into the Hillsborough disaster has been shown footage from the 1981 FA cup semi final between Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton wanderers which saw "a crushing incident" at the Leppings Lane end.

Many fans had to be removed from the terrace onto the side of the pitch.

Questions were raised then about the design and the capacity of the stand where 96 Liverpool fans died in 1989, the jury were told.

Dan Johnson reports.
