Overview

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. Anfield Stadium, Liverpool, England. Home ground of the Liverpool Football Club. And place of remembrance for the victims of one of the worst football disasters in British history. South Africa, 1899-1900. A bitter war rages between Britain and the Boer republics of the Transvaal and the Free State. Boer commandos lay siege to towns in British-controlled Natal. The British Army must fight to relieve them. But first they must reach them, marching into hostile terrain against an enemy with unrivalled marksmanship skills, and travelling on horseback. Both sides target Spionkop, a hill rising from the Natal plains - destined to be christened 'an acre of massacre' by watching reporter, Winston Churchill; and to find its name gracing one of the most famous football stands in the world; Anfield's The Kop. South Africa 2015. Liverpool football fans Jimmy, Sarah, and Des travel to South Africa to commemorate the Hillsborough Disaster, where they discover more than they expect - about the distant past, and about themselves.
