The name of the 97th Hillsborough disaster victim, who died last year, has been added to Anfield's memorial.

A coroner later ruled he was the 97th fatality and unlawfully killed.

Liverpool Football Club said the tribute, which was engraved on Friday, was open to anyone who wished to pay their respects.
