|
| Former sergeant Martin Long, who was at Sheffield Wednesday's ground when 96 Liverpool football fans were crushed to death on 15 April 1989, is thought to have been awarded £330,000 for post-traumatic stress disorder. Phil Hammond, vice-chairman of the Hillsborough Family Support Group - who received £3,500 compensation for the death of his 14-year-old son - has condemned the payment as "disgusting". The BBC's Kevin Bouquet reports.
