Ibrox disaster survivor shares haunting eyewitness account and the decision that saved his life on that dark day

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Ibrox.And while Bobby, now retired and with two sons of his own, escaped the tragedy unharmed, the memories of that freezing foggy night and the fate of the poor souls who perished is never far from his mind at this time of year.Particularly this year, as the 50th anniversary looms large.“The lads from Fife,” he almost whispers. “Some of them would have been the same age as my pals and me.

To think they went to that game and never made it home....“As the years have gone on, the sense of disbelief has grown rather than gone away.

Sixty six people went to that match, left their homes, like me, said, ‘see you later, bye’ to their parents, wives, kids, whoever and never saw them again.”Bobby’s sitting at home in Croftfoot, but his mind is back.
