  • Pretty sure Itandje was released from his contract more than a year after the incident? Good of you to spell his name right, by the way - you must be an expert.

    From Wiki:

    Hillsborough memorial incident[edit]
    After the memorial service for the twentieth anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster in April 2009, complaints were made by members of the congregation that Itandje had been laughing and behaving inappropriately during the service.[12] His actions were condemned by the Liverpool hierarchy,[who?] who stated that they would be seeking to impose the maximum punishment possible.[12] Itandje apologised to the grieving families and to Liverpool fans for his behaviour and was suspended by the club for 14 days.[13] He did not play another game, at reserve or first team level, for the club.

    In the exclusive interview with Le Journal du Dimanche, Itandje spoke out about the Hillsborough incident for the first time. He said when he saw himself laughing on Television, he described this as "awkward and unwelcome." As a result of this, Itandje stated the club never supported him for this and the club supporters started to threatening him saying: "Do not walk in the street, you'll get mugged." His increasing stress caused him to have eczema on his hand.[14]

    Following his move to Atromitos, Itandje apologised emphatically:

    I am sorry. I am sorry. I am sorry. A thousand times, I am sorry. To the club, to the fans and especially to the families, I am deeply sorry.[15]
