8: Episode 8 - A Terrible Tragedy?

Martin Fletcher, 12 and his brother Andrew, 11 were with their family to see their favourite football team, Bradford City play their final match before being moved up into the 2nd division of football. It was expected to be a momentous day, and it was...but for all the wrong reasons. What happened that day had devastating consequences for the Fletcher family and many, many other families. These consequences sent one of the Fletcher family on a 15 year long quest for answers.
