Ada sejumlah pemain sepakbola yang meninggal di lapangan secara mendadak. Baru-baru ini ada satu pemain sepakbola di Liga Italia yang meninggal di lapangan. Masih dalam ingatan kita juga bahwa ada seorang pemain sepakbola yang bermain untuk Bolton Wanderes ‘tumbang’ di lapangan saat melawan Tottenham Hotspurs akibat penyakit jantung. Tetapi untungnya Muamba masih bisa diselamatkan karena penanganan yang sangat cepat setelah jantungnya berhenti berdetak selama 78 menit. Pemain lain yang tewas di lapangan tidak seberuntung Muamba. Berikut beberapa pemain sepakbola yang ‘gugur’ di lapangan:

1. Marc-Vivien Foe
Pemain tim nasional Kamerun ini pingsan ketika bermain di Piala Konfederasi 2006 di Lyon, Perancis melawan Kolombia 26 Juni 2003. Foe tiba-tiba terjatuh di tengah lapangan. Foe dinyatakan meninggal 15 menit kemudian.

2. John Thomson
John Tomson merupakan mantan kiper Glasgow Celtic yang meninggal setelah bertabrakan dengan pemain Glasgow Rangers ketika laga Old Firm di Stadion Ibrox pada 5 September 1931. John Tomson meninggal dalam usia 22 tahun.

3. Antonio Puerta
Pemain klub Sevilla tersebut mengalami gagal jantung ketika menghadapi Getafe 28 Agustus 2007 pada partai pembuka La Liga.

4. Hugo Cunha
Pemain tengah klub Portugal Uniao Leiria ini pingsan kemudian meninggal dalam sebuah pertandingan persahabatan pada bulan Juni 2005. Hugo Cunha meninggal dalam usia 28 tahun.

5. Marcio Dos Santos
Striker Brazil berumur 28 tahun ini meninggal akibat serangan jantung beberapa jam setelah mencetak gol pada Oktober 2002. Dos Santos adalah pemain tim Peru, Deportivo Wanka.

6. Miklos Feher
Pemain Benfica ini pingsan akibat serangan jantung dalam pertandingan liga Portugal melawan Vitoria Guimaraes pada 24 Januari. Pemain tim nasional Hongaria ini tewas dalam umur 24 tahun.

7. Dave Longhurst
Pemain York City berumur 25 tahun ini tewas setelah pingsan selama dua menit dalam pertandingan melawan Lincoln City pada September 1990. Hasil otopsi menunjukkan Longhurst meninggal akibat masalah jantung.

8. Samuel Okwaraji
Pemain Nigeria Samuel Okwaraji pingsan selama 10 menit ketika melakoni pertandingan kualifikasi Piala Dunia melawan Angola di lagos pada Agustus 1989. Okwaraji meninggal karena penyakit jantung.

9. Serginho
Bek sao Caetano ini meninggal karena mengalami masalah pernafasan ketika bertanding melawan Sao Paulo pada Oktober 2004.

10. Piermario Morosini
Morosini mengembuskan napas terakhir di rumah sakit setelah tiba-tiba terjatuh tak sadarkan diri pada menit ke-31, saat Livorno unggul 2-0 dari tuan rumah Pescara di laga Serie B.
Pemain 25 tahun ini dilarikan ke rumah sakit setempat, namun nyawanya tak bisa diselamatkan. “Dia terkena serangan jantung. Sayangnya, dia sudah mengembuskan napas ketika ambulans tiba di rumah sakit,” ujar dokter De Blasi dilansir Football Italia.

11. Jumadi Abdi
Gelandang Indonesia yang bermain untuk Bontang FC ini mengalami benturan keras ketika bertanding melawan Persela Lamongan pada tanggal 7 Maret 2009. Delapan hari kemudian, pemain berumur 26 tahun ini meninggal dunia setelah menjalani perawatan intensif. Jumadi meninggal akibat kerusakan di sejumlah organ vital bagian dalam.

12. Eri Irianto
Di dalam negeri, pemain Persebaya Eri Irianto juga mengalami serangan jantung saat membela timnya melawan PSIM Yogyakarta di Stadion Gelora 10 November. Eri kemudian dinyatakan meninggal di RS Dokter Sutomo Surabaya.

13. Michal Jezek
Pemain asal Ceko ini mendadak tewas setelah mencetak gol bunuh diri. Jezek diduga tewas karena serangan jantung. Michal Jezek membela tim kecil dalam sebuah kompetisi liga regional di distrik Kladno. Baru sembilan menit berjalan, bek 31 tahun itu melompat untuk membuang bola tapi justru membuat gawangnya terkoyak. Ia kemudian jatuh di lapangan dan tak sadarkan diri. Rekan-rekan Jezek kemudian memanggil paramedis dan ambulans datang beberapa menit kemudian. Namun, dokter tak mampu menyelamatkan nyawanya. “Dia terkena penyakit serangan jantung dan sayangnya kami tidak mampu menyadarkannya kembali,” kata Tereza Janeckova, petugas di mobil ambulans, kepada situs idnes.cz. Josef Horak, seorang dokter setempat, mengatakan, kematian itu bisa disebabkan oleh stres yang datang tiba-tiba termasuk kaget setelah mencetak gol bunuh diri. “Stres mendadak dapat memicu kejadian tersebut,” ujarnya. Jezek meninggalkan seorang istri dan putri yang baru berusia enam bulan.

Liverpool: Terima Kasih, Everton

Quote:


LIVERPOOL, KOMPAS.com — Liverpool mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Everton atas penghormatan terhadap Tragedi Hillsborough yang memakan korban jiwa hingga 96 orang itu.

Jelang kick off antara Everton kontra Newcastle United, Senin (17/9/2012), "The Toffees" membawa dua maskot yang mengenakan seragam Everton dan Liverpool. Sang maskot yakni anak perempuan mengenakan seragam Everton bernomor punggung 9, sementara maskot anak laki-laki dengan nomor 6 berseragam Liverpool. Keduanya lantas berdiri bersebelahan dan terlihat penggabungan angka 96 yang merujuk jumlah korban jiwa Tragedi Hillsborough.

Tak hanya itu, publik di Goodison Park juga memberikan tepuk tangan selama beberapa menit diiringi lagu The Hollies yang berjudul "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother". Tindakan tersebut membuat Direktur Manajer Liverpool, Ian Ayre, mengucapkan rasa terima kasih kepada Everton.

"Saya ingin mengucapkan rasa terima kasih yang tulus kepada semua staf dan fans Everton dari semua orang di Liverpool atas dukungan Anda kepada keluarga Hillsborough malam ini," jelas Ayre.

"Kami selalu bersaing besar di lapangan, tetapi kami juga mendukung satu sama lain. Saat bencana itu, Everton ada di sana untuk Liverpool. Solidaritas juga mereka pamerkan lagi minggu lalu ketika temuan Hillsborough Independen Panel terungkap," sambungnya.

"Pada saat-saat seperti ini, persaingan sepak bola disingkirkan. Itu yang membuat kota ini unik dan saya pikir pendukung kedua klub dapat sangat bangga dengan cara yang mereka lakukan selama beberapa hari, beberapa minggu, dan beberapa tahun sejak tragedi itu," pungkas Ayre

Remember Hillsborough! As football considers using nets to stop yobs, relatives of victims killed in tragedy issue warning

Relatives of Hillsborough victims have warned that erecting netting to protect players from missiles could eventually lead to the return of the fences that killed their loved ones.

Players' union chief Gordon Taylor said on Monday that mesh nets would have saved Rio Ferdinand from the coin that struck him above the eye in the last minute of Sunday's Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium.

Such nets are used across Europe, while Manchester United have one behind the goals at Old Trafford to stop disabled supporters being hit by the ball.

But last night Steve Kelly of the Hillsborough Justice Campaign said: 'I don't think nets would bring safety. The next thing would be wire mesh and then fencing, and we all know what that has meant.

'Preventing missiles is a society thing. With all the money the clubs have to pay players the wages they are getting, there should be better ways to identify fans in the crowd who throw things.

'They should be making real examples of these people, not trying to fence groups of fans in. It should be more than a £50 slap on the wrist and a temporary ban.'

The controversy came on the day Attorney General Dominic Grieve sought to have the Hillsborough inquest verdicts of accidental death quashed. Mr Grieve said there was a 'good' case to hold new hearings into the deaths of the 96 Liverpool fans in 1989.

City officials and Greater Manchester Police were still trawling through CCTV footage in an attempt to identify the thug who threw the coin at Ferdinand after United's winning goal. It is understood the process could last into the new year.

PFA chief executive Taylor had said earlier in the day: 'I think you've got to give consideration to some netting in vulnerable areas, be it behind the goals and round the corner flags.'

It is understood City are not giving too much thought to putting up netting and will only do so if ordered to by the FA, which is unlikely.

City are reviewing their procedures in the wake of Sunday - as they would after any big game - and are determined to find the offender and work out how another fan was able to evade stewards and run on to the field in the direction of Ferdinand. Matthew Stott, 21, was yesterday charged with pitch encroachment and will be banned for life by City.

Last night FA chairman David Bernstein said: 'It is deplorable to see those incidents. To see Rio Ferdinand with blood on his face is absolutely terrible. It's disturbing to see a recurrence of these things. We've had racial abuse issues, the odd pitch incursion, things being thrown at players. 'It has to be dealt with severely.'

City have previously given consideration to moving visiting supporters to less visible areas of the Etihad Stadium to stop players celebrating provocatively. It will be considered again when they eventually expand their stadium.

Former United midfielder Paddy Crerand yesterday denied Ferdinand was to blame for what happened. During a passionate interview on Radio 5 Live, Crerand said: 'I was at the game yesterday and that is absolute rubbish. Who suggested that, and where did that come from? It's absolute garbage.'

On Monday night the story took another twist when Ashley Cole’s mother angrily denied posting an insulting message about the attack on Ferdinand after a Facebook page purporting to belong to her younger son Matty appeared to revel in the defender’s injury.

Sue Cole insisted she was not the author of a post that said: ‘Give the fan that threw it (the coin) a medal.’

Hillsborough inquests: attorney general moves to quash original verdicts





Ben Quinn
The Guardian

The families of 96 Liverpool fans who died at Hillsborough in 1989 hailed the announcement yesterday that an application has been lodged by the attorney general to have the original inquests into the disaster quashed in the high court.

A judge will rule on the application, which comes after the Hillsborough Independent Panel in September discredited the original inquest's principal findings and revealed a coverup that attempted to shift the blame on to the victims, but the bid is considered likely to succeed.

Dominic Grieve, the government's chief legal officer, said there was a "good" case for setting aside the accidental death verdicts and holding new hearings into the deaths of supporters.

Should the court decide to quash the original inquests and order fresh ones to be heard, its powers are limited to referring the cases back to the district in which they were originally heard, which means sending them back to Sheffield or Doncaster in 95 of the cases. It is understood that the attorney general will suggest that the court should return the cases to Doncaster, as the families themselves have made it clear that they do not want the inquests heard in Sheffield.

Grieve said that the principal ground for the application is the new medical evidence, adding: "The alteration to police and emergency services evidence is a supporting factor, as is stadium safety."

The chairwoman of the Hillsborough Family Support Group, Margaret Aspinall, whose son James, 18, died in the tragedy, said: "We have waited over 20 years for these verdicts to be overturned and I'm sure all the families will be delighted to hear that these steps are being taken."

The attorney general's office also said yesterday that the application drew on additional analysis provided by Dr Bill Kirkup CBE, the medical adviser on the panel, who has said up to 41 of the 96 fatalities might have been saved with quicker treatment.

The families, who have expressed the wish that the new hearings should take place in Liverpool, will have a number of priorities in mind. They will be looking for a precise account of how each person died and, ultimately, verdicts of unlawful killing.

The families have always felt desperately aggrieved by the fact that the coroner who presided over the original inquests limited evidence to 3.15pm on the day of the disaster – based on the assumption that all of those who died were already irrecoverably injured by then – and have bitterly contested the way in which the original inquest was conducted, leading to the verdict of accidental death.

Campaigners such as Anne Williams, whose son Kevin died in the disaster, have always contested the account given at the inquest that he died from traumatic asphyxia and so could be considered irrecoverable by 3.15pm on the day of the disaster.

She wrote on Twitter yesterday: "Just received email the attorney general is sending Kevin's case to the divisional courts seeking a new inquest his death."

More than 105,000 people have signed an e-petition calling for a fresh inquest into her son's death to be held swiftly as Anne is suffering from cancer.

She has has made four submissions to overturn the verdict of her son's inquest to different attorney generals over the years, and said that the announcement was what she had been waiting 23 years for. "Looking at [the email] now, I can't believe it," she said. "This is my fourth submission to attorney generals over the years and they have always come back, 'Not in the interests of justice'."

New Hillsborough investigation ordered by home secretary





Press Association
guardian.co.uk


A new police investigation into the Hillsborough disaster has been announced by the home secretary.

Former Durham chief constable Jon Stoddart will lead the inquiry, which will focus specifically on the 96 deaths of Liverpool fans at the FA Cup semi-final in 1989.

The move came after a damning report from the Hillsborough independent panel laid bare a coverup that attempted to shift the blame for the tragedy on to its victims.

The home secretary, Theresa May, said: "I am determined to see a swift and thorough response to the findings of the Hillsborough panel to deliver justice for the 96 football fans who died and the families who have fought so hard on their behalf."

"The findings of the Hillsborough independent panel were truly shocking, but while the families have now been given the truth, they have not yet received justice.

"Jon Stoddart is a skilled and dedicated investigator who will bring a huge amount of policing experience to this demanding job.

"I am giving the IPCC new powers to investigate police misconduct, but this investigation will ensure no body with responsibility for fan safety at Hillsborough will escape scrutiny.

Stoddart will be able to recruit investigators and staff to his team, but he will not be allowed to employ officers or former officers with any prior connection to the Hillsborough disaster.

He is also unable to recruit any officers or former officers who worked in the West Midlands, South Yorkshire or Merseyside police forces.

Stoddart will also work closely with the previously announced Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) investigation into police conduct in the aftermath of the disaster.

He said: "I am aware of the great significance and personal responsibility which comes with leading this criminal investigation.

"My first priority is to meet with as many of the families as possible and to establish a working open relationship with them throughout the investigation.

"I have held a number of meetings already and have been struck by the

families' humility and steadfast determination to see justice delivered for their loved ones.

"My role is to ensure that we determine exactly what happened in the lead-up to and on the day of the disaster and establish where any culpability lies."

The announcement was released ahead of a high court application to quash the original accidental death inquest verdicts for the 96 fans killed in the crush at Hillsborough.

Some of the families of victims, who have campaigned to have the verdicts overturned, were attending the hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in central London.

The Hillsborough independent panel report triggered a raft of apologies, including from the prime minister, David Cameron, and former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie.

MacKenzie was the editor of the Sun when it ran a front page story blaming fans for the disaster.

It also ultimately led to the resignation of the West Yorkshire chief constable, Sir Norman Bettison, who was a chief inspector with South Yorkshire police at the time.

The panel's report found there were clear operational failures in response to the disaster and up to 41 fans could potentially have survived.

It also found the then chief constable of South Yorkshire, Peter Wright, and his officers, with the help of local Tory MP Irvine Patnick, sought to cover up the failing.

The Liverpool supporters died in a crush at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough stadium on 15 April 1989 where their team were to meet Nottingham Forest in an FA Cup semi-final.

High court quashes Hillsborough inquest verdicts




Owen Gibson
guardian.co.uk


Twenty-two years after the original contentious inquest into the 96 victims of the Hillsborough disaster, the verdict of accidental death has been quashed in the high court.

The landmark verdict clears the way for a new inquest into the deaths next year, re-examining the roles of the police and other emergency services, Sheffield council and Sheffield Wednesday Football Club, and leading to the possibility of new verdicts of unlawful killing.

The lord chief justice said it was "inevitable" that the emergence of fresh evidence about how and why the 96 victims died made it "desirable and reasonable for a fresh inquest to be heard".

"However distressing or unpalatable, the truth will be brought to light," Lord Judge said. "In this way, the families of those who died in the disaster will be properly respected. Our earnest wish is the new inquest will not be delayed for a moment longer than necessary."

The application by the attorney general, Dominic Grieve, was made in the wake of the publication in September of the Hillsborough Independent Panel (HIP) report and accepted by three high court judges.

New medical evidence commissioned by the attorney general revealed that 58 victims "definitely or probably" had the capacity to survive beyond the 3.15pm cut-off point imposed by the original coroner. In a further 12 cases, the cause of death remained unclear.

The number who might have survived is even higher than the figure of 41 suggested by the HIP report, which was chaired by the bishop of Liverpool and examined 450,000 documents from more than 80 organisations.

Grieve said that the application was unopposed and supported by all the families and the defendants, the coroner for South Yorkshire and the coroner for West Yorkshire.

Grieve told the court that the new medical evidence from Dr Bill Kirkup and Professor Crane formed "the essential basis" for his application, meaning that the premise of the original inquest was unsustainable.

"The new medical evidence presented by the panel's report leads to the conclusion that justice has not been done," he said.

The lord chief justice said there was "ample evidence to suggest that the 3.15pm cut-off was seriously flawed" and that was sufficient on its own to justify the quashing of the original inquest.

It raised new questions about the conduct of police and the emergency services, he said.

But he said there were other reasons for ordering a new inquest, including the 116 amendments to police statements designed to cast them in a better light, and new evidence about the safety of the stadium.

Set up to reconsider all evidence relating to the disaster, including new documents made available for the first time, the HIP report raised serious concerns about the adequacy of the original inquest in Sheffield in 1990.

Particularly challenging was its revelation of medical evidence that up to 41 of the 96 victims could have survived beyond the arbitrary 3.15pm "cut-off" imposed by the original coroner, Dr Stefan Popper, on the assumption that all of those killed would have been dead by then.

The review found that the decision to impose the cut-off severely limited examination of the response of the police and emergency services to the disaster on 15 April 1989, in which 96 Liverpool fans were crushed to death in the Leppings Lane end of the stadium, and "raised profound concerns regarding sufficiency of inquiry and examination of evidence".

The lord chief justice said that "in our judgment the 3.15pm cut-off point provided not only the most dramatic but also the most distressing aspect" of the new evidence.

"In short, the unchallenged evidence of pathologists at the Taylor inquiry and the subsequent inquest is no longer accepted," he said.

The panel's report also laid bare for the first time the extent of attempts by police to cover up their own failings by altering statements from officers and trying to smear blameless fans in the media.

Consistent with Lord Justice Taylor's report 22 years earlier, the panel found no evidence of ticketless, drunken or violent fans.

The original verdict of accidental death, delivered by a jury in March 1991 following the longest inquest in British legal history, has been a running sore for the families of those killed in the disaster, who felt the inquest was wholly inadequate.

During the initial "mini-inquest" into each death, the controversial decision was taken to read out the blood alcohol level of each victim. The lord chief justice said the decision to do so placed undue emphasis on the issue and conveyed the impression to the suffering families that it was being suggested that the fans had somehow caused or contributed to the disaster. In fact, many of the deceased had no alcohol in their system and a minority had, at most, "a normal social amount".

The second, generic part of the inquest that took place after the case for criminal proceedings was dismissed became unhelpfully adversarial, said Judge, as South Yorkshire police attempted to use the proceedings to respond to criticism in the Taylor report.

Many of the relatives of those killed were present on Wednesday in court five of the Royal Courts of Justice on the Strand or watching via videolink in an adjacent courtroom. Some held pictures of their relatives and others carried Liverpool scarves.

Anne Williams, the mother of Kevin Williams, was present. She has campaigned tirelessly on the issue of the 3.15pm cut-off and refused to collect her son's death certificate.

Some of the MPs who campaigned for a new investigation of the full facts surrounding the disaster, including Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram, watched from the public gallery. In Liverpool, another 150 relatives watched via videolink at the civil and family courts.

Judge paid tribute to the families of the deceased, putting on record "our admiration and respect for their search for the truth about the causes of the disaster and why and how it occurred". He said the court must "simultaneously express our regret that the process has been so unbelievably dispiriting and prolonged".

The application was heard by three judges sitting in the divisional court: the lord chief justice, Mr Justice Burnett and His Honour Judge Peter Thornton QC.

Michael Mansfield QC, acting on behalf of the families of 63 of those killed in the disaster, laid out in his submission the five reasons why the original verdict should be quashed.

He said the new medical evidence and a subsequent medical report showed "the premise which underlay the inquests, namely a single unvarying pattern of death, was fundamentally flawed".

Mansfield said in his submission that the manner in which the inquests were organised, in particular the mini-inquests, where no questions were allowed, was also based on that flawed premise and denied the families the opportunity to participate properly.

The "wholesale alteration" of the statements of police officers and members of the emergency services raised "deep concerns that justice was not done at the original inquests or in other inquiries", he said.

And he pointed out that the attorney general agreed with the panel's findings suggesting there was further evidence relating to the history and safety of the stadium that should have been deployed at the original inquest, and agreed that a new verdict such as unlawful killing was possible.

Mansfield said the new inquest should also take into account the widespread concerns raised about the safety of Hillsborough and earlier warning signs that were ignored. The original inquest was told that the ground was "reasonably safe", he said.

Families of the victims were keen that the new inquest took place in Liverpool or a neutral venue rather than Sheffield. Coroners in Doncaster and Bradford will consider the timetable and venue for any new inquest.

"New inquests are the only way in which the families can learn the truth about the circumstances in which their relatives died," said Mansfield.

"As the attorney general also recognises, they are the only way in which the justifiable and widespread public concerns about the previous investigations into the tragedy can be allayed."

The new inquest is expected to take place in parallel with the Independent Police Complaints Commission's (IPCC) wide-ranging investigation into the matters raised by the HIP report.

The IPCC is setting up a new unit to handle the investigation, which will examine the conduct of police on the day and the allegations of smears and coverup that followed. The home secretary on Wednesday appointed Jon Stoddart, the former chief constable of Durham police, to lead an investigation into the 96 deaths and work in parallel with the IPCC review.

"My first priority is to meet with as many of the families as possible and to establish a working open relationship with them throughout the investigation," he said.

"I have held a number of meetings already and have been struck by the families' humility and steadfast determination to see justice delivered for their loved ones. My role is to ensure that we determine exactly what happened in the lead-up to and on the day of the disaster and establish where any culpability lies."

Hillsborough inquiry is a huge challenge, says IPCC chair




Sandra Laville
The Guardian


The criminal inquiry into the cover-up over the Hillsborough stadium disaster is the greatest challenge ever faced by the Independent Police Complaints Commission, its chairwoman has said.

Dame Anne Owers made it clear that the IPCC's task was bigger and more testing than any of its other controversial inquiries, including those into the fatal shootings by police of Jean Charles de Menezes after the 2005 London bombings and of Mark Duggan before the 2011 riots.

She revealed the scale of the investigation in an interview with the Guardian in which she also accused police involved in Duggan's shooting of delaying the IPCC inquiry by refusing to be interviewed in person. Instead, the officers had to be questioned through multiple exchanges of letters over more than six months. "It was like putting a message in a bottle and sending it down the Thames," she said.

The Hillsborough investigation comes at a time when the IPCC faces criticism from groups including families of victims of police brutality, politicians and lawyers, and after the shadow home secretary, Yvette Cooper, called for it to be replaced by a new body with tougher powers.

Owers said the task ahead, while huge, would also provide the IPCC with a chance to display its strengths in the face of such criticism. It has been given new powers to compel police and others to testify as witnesses.

"Clearly it is a test and a challenge," she said. "But it is also an opportunity for us to show what we can do if we are properly resourced to do a big job. The scale of it is very big but I think the way we are working with a team that includes investigators, lawyers and family liaison teams is critical and will be a model for the future, provided that we get the resources we need."

Owers said she was in discussions with the Home Office over extra funding to cover the investigation. She is also demanding more resources for the watchdog's present and future work as it struggles to cope with a 20% – £5m – cut in its budget over four years, a reduction she said was putting considerable pressure on frontline staff.

She revealed the IPCC is embarking on a huge recruitment drive to employ 100 investigators. Forty will be recruited from next month in the first tranche – both former police officers and others from non-police backgrounds – as the Hillsborough investigation gets under way.

A major incident room has been set up in the IPCC office in Sale, Greater Manchester, as a temporary base for the inquiry team while the organisation secures an office block in Warrington which will be the team's permanent home. The building will be equipped with special security systems to secure the evidence before the IPCC takes possession of all the documents and begins interviewing. In the months ahead the team will:

• Try to retrieve more than 450,000 documents from the authorities that own them.

• Input them into the Holmes major incident system.

• Prepare to interview up to 2,400 police officers who were on duty on the day.

Owers admitted retrieving and inputting the documentation could take months. But she said the investigation would not be put on hold while this was done. Investigators would pursue possible lines of inquiry from the documents and could potentially start interviewing police officers.

The IPCC inquiry will work alongside a criminal inquiry into the disaster by the former chief constable of Durham, Jon Stoddart. The Hillsborough Independent Panel's report in September exposed the scale of the cover-up by South Yorkshire police and other authorities in the aftermath of the disaster in 1989, which left 96 people dead. The panel found that officers altered 116 of their 164 statements to remove or amend comments that were unfavourable to South Yorkshire police as they tried to blame the victims – the Liverpool fans – for the disaster.

Stoddart's inquiry will focus specifically on any criminal culpability for the deaths at the FA cup semi-final in Sheffield, while the IPCC is focusing on the cover-up and what has been described in parliament as a black propaganda campaign by the police.

Owers – who was appointed by the home secretary, Theresa May, as part-time chair last April – has increased her commitment to four days a week to take charge of the Hillsborough inquiry.

She admitted that the challenge to the IPCC came at a time when questions about its competence had been raised by a number of different people. The family of Sean Rigg, a 40-year-old who died at Brixton police station in south London in 2008, have attacked the IPCC for its "inadequate and obstructive" investigation into his death after an inquest jury found officers had used unsuitable force on him during an unnecessarily long restraint. Owers has since asked for an independent review of the IPCC's work on the case.

"Yes there are cases where people haven't been satisfied with our investigations," Owers said. "We have got to be concerned about the cases that families feel have gone wrong, we have got to respond to that.

"We are doing a review of the way that we deal with cases of death in custody. We are going out and talking to families about their experiences and about what they think could have been done differently. We are talking to lawyers who have made criticisms and to external groups like Inquest. We are looking at to what extent it is about the powers and resources we have got and to what extent it is about the fact that we need to look at things differently in some cases."

Owers defended the time it has taken the IPCC to conclude its inquiry into the shooting of Duggan, which sparked the riots in summer 2011. She vowed that the full report would be published and in part blamed police obstructiveness for the delay. "The investigation is nearly finished," she said.

"It is a very complex case. One of the problems for us was that the officers would not come in to be interviewed. We asked them to do so in December of last year and it was July before we got the final response from them to our questions. We had to write the questions to them and they wrote back their answers. That prompted more questions so we had to write to them again and they wrote back through solicitors.

"It was like putting a message in a bottle and sending it down the Thames."

Default Re: Football Tragedy [forever Remembered]

Hillsborough: police, FA, council and club could face manslaughter charges

Lead detective reveals scale of investigation, which will be pursued under 1989 gross negligence manslaughter law

Manslaughter charges could be brought against the South Yorkshire police force and senior officers on duty when 96 people died at the Hillsborough football stadium on 15 April 1989, according to the senior detective leading a new criminal investigation into the disaster.

Speaking for the first time about what he labelled a criminal inquiry of "unprecedented scale", Jon Stoddart, former chief constable of the Durham force, said his team were exploring the culpability of not just the police, but Sheffield Wednesday football club, the city council and the Football Association. All were being investigated for possible gross negligence manslaughter, he said.

Stoddart is one of the country's most experienced detectives. He oversaw a review into the new phone hacking investigation run by the Metropolitan police and for 10 years was the leading expert on homicide investigations in England and Wales.

In an interview with the Guardian marking a year since the Hillsborough independent panel published a devastating report into the disaster, Stoddart said his criminal investigation was investigating all agencies involved in the tragedy. "We are exploring all liability, both public and individual," he said.

"We are looking at unlawful killing; who is responsible for the deaths. Those 96 people went to Hillsborough to watch a football match and didn't return home. We want to know what happened, how it happened and why, and who is responsible.

"Obviously we are looking at the command and control [of the 54,000 crowd at Hillsborough by South Yorkshire police] on 15 April. But clearly it is about more than just command and control and what happened with the emergency services' response. It is about the safety of the stadium, certification, the planning and preparation, the engineering and design that went into the Leppings Lane end [where the 96 people died]."

His investigation, called Operation Resolve, is operating under the laws that existed in 1989, when organisations could be charged with "gross negligence manslaughter" if a single person was identifiably at fault as the "controlling mind". The new crime of corporate manslaughter that entered the statute books in 2008 cannot be used retrospectively.

The investigation will examine the role of Sheffield Wednesday football club, which offered to host the 1989 FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at its ground despite serial breaches of the Home Office guide to ground safety and a safety certificate 10 years out of date.

Sheffield city council, which was statutorily responsible for licensing the stadium as safe, and the FA, which commissioned the ground for its semi-final despite Hillsborough's safety breaches and previous crushes at semi-finals there in 1981, 1987 and 1988, are also being investigated for potential manslaughter charges.

Asked if South Yorkshire police, Sheffield Wednesday, Sheffield city council and the FA were being investigated for possible criminal culpability, Stoddart said: "Yes, absolutely." Stoddart rejected any accusation that as a police officer he had any institutional sympathy for those on duty on the day in South Yorkshire. "I have no qualms about this," he said. "We are entirely independent."

The office emphasised that his team, which will number 171 by the end of September, including approximately 50 serving police officers from eleven forces, has no connections with South Yorkshire police, West Midlands, or any other force which had an involvement with Hillsborough.

For the investigation, which has a Home Office budget of £9.6m, Stoddart said he has sought police officers and other investigative staff "with the very highest skills".

He spoke as the Independent Police Complaints Commission, which is running a parallel criminal inquiry into the actions of the police in the aftermath of the disaster, said they had been handed new evidence in the form of 90 pocket books written by South Yorkshire officers on duty on the day.

In addition, the police watchdog said it had uncovered evidence that 238 police statements had been altered – 74 more than previously believed – and that witness accounts might have been amended by West Midlands police, who were charged with investigating the actions of the South Yorkshire force.

Besides unlawful killing offences, Stoddart said other potential criminal offences under investigation include breaches of health and safety law, and for individuals working in public bodies, including the police: "Misfeasance and malfeasance amounting to misconduct and neglect in public office. Misfeasance in public office is a criminal offence; it is a very serious offence," he said.While chief constable of Durham police, Stoddart was from 2002 the national Association of Chief Police Officers lead on policy, practice and training for homicide investigations. Two months after his retirement in October last year, the home secretary, Theresea May, appointed him to lead the new criminal investigation into Hillsborough.

The panel report, based on more than 450,000 documents disclosed by South Yorkshire police, Sheffield Wednesday, the FA and other organisations, highlighted profound safety failings in the Leppings Lane end, on the day and in the years preceding the disaster, and a failure of the emergency services to provide prompt medical care.

Yet the original investigation by West Midlands police, headed at the time by Geoffrey, now Lord Dear, resulted in no prosecutions of any organisation or individual for any offence.

Stoddart said he recognised his new investigation into how the 96 people, most under 25, died under the care of South Yorkshire police at Hillsborough was "incredibly important for confidence in the police's ability to scrupulously investigate the police."

Terry Sweeney, Stoddart's deputy, is a serving assistant chief constable of Greater Manchester police, which has also seconded detective chief superintendent Gerry Donnellan to Operation Resolve. Criticised by solicitors representing 19 bereaved families this week for slow progress, Stoddart said his team had "really pushed on" to staff, structure and begin work on an investigation of "unprecedented scale".

His investigation is also providing evidence for the new inquest and Stoddart said they would meet the deadline set by the coroner, Lord Justice Godring, for the inquest to start by 31 March.

Sweeney added: "It is not about whether you are a police officer, a member of the [Sheffield city] council, or Sheffield Wednesday or the FA, the families deserve this issue to be investigated to the highest possible standard, with the best rigour and the most professional skills and abilities we have in the service. That is what we have to do. Whether [the people under investigation] are police or not, doesn't matter to us."

South Yorkshire police told the Guardian in a statement: "We continue to fully co-operate with all inquiries into the Hillsborough tragedy and will not be making any further comment so as not to compromise the investigations."

Solicitors representing the former South Yorkshire police chief superintendent David Duckenfield, who was in command at Hillsborough, and superintendents Roger Marshall and Roger Greenwood, said it would be inappropriate to comment given the ongoing inquiries. Sheffield city council and the FA said they were co-operating with the Stoddart inquiry. Sheffield Wednesday declined to comment.
