More on the news that some of the Hillsborough families have accepted the apology of Gordon Taylor, who compared the tragedy to the Ched Evans rape case.

Brenda Fox, who lost her son Steven, said: "I accept that apology, no hard feelings to the man at all. I think it was a mistake.

It was just one of those off the cuff things that people say and they shouldn't say and they regret."

Barry Devonside, who lost his son Christopher in the disaster, also accepted the apology but was critical of Taylor.

"He was foolhardy to make comments in relation to Ched Evans and the Hillsborough disaster. There is no connection between the two whatsoever," he said.

"This isn't the first time Gordon Taylor has been involved in a gaffe. He really needs to connect brain with mouth."

Some Hillsborough families arriving at court this morning for the ongoing inquests in Warrington say they accept PFA chief Gordon Taylor's apology.
