The uncomfortable moment Man United Legend Peter Schmeichel asks Ex-Livepool star David James’ Hillsborough Remembrance Badge

Peter Schmeichel and David James were involved in an uncomfortable exchange while they LiverpoolS Premier League clash Arsenal On Sunday.

The two former keepers were on Punditry tasks for ViaSpel, because the top two of the Premier League went against each other on Anfield and initially appeared in a good mood when the panel shared a smile.

However, the mood suddenly changed then Manchester United Legend Schmeichel leaned over his former teammate Jaap Stam to point out a Badge on James’ Jacket.

The badge had the song ’97’ on it and Schmeichel interrupted the chat before the game to question it as he said to James: “Can I just ask, what does that stand for?”

The ex-livepool-shot stopper did not seem to be impressed by Schmmeichel’s question and answered about it: ’97? Hillsborough. ‘

Presenter Jules Breach came in quickly and told James that it was a ‘nice touch’ to see him wear the badge before she changed the subject.

James did not seem impressed when he briefly explained to honor those who lost their lives in the Hillsborough disaster

Last month, the 36th anniversary of the tragedy was when 97 fans lost their lives in a crush

James referred to the disaster in Hillsborough, where 97 fans lost their lives after a crowd of crush during the Fa -Cup semi -final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on April 15, 1989.

Ninety -four people died on the day before another supporter died in the hospital days later.

Tony Bland and Andrew Devine died in 1993 and 2021 respectively, after irreversible brain damage after the falling in love to take the number of fatalities to 97.

It was the 36th birthday of the tragedy last month, and James, who played for Liverpool between 1992 and 1999, paid his respect to those who unfortunately lost their lives on that fatal day.

Yet Schmeichel did not seem aware of the meaning of the number 97 for the people in Liverpool, which led to an uncomfortable moment with James.

Schmeichel also made a big claim during the coverage for the competition when he burned Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta a ‘control freak’.

In the direction of the exit of the Gunners’ Champions League in the hands of PSG who confirmed that they will finish another season without a season, Schmmeichel broke to Arteta because he did not give his players enough freedom, because he insisted that the Spanish coach would have made him a ‘worse player’ if he had ever played under him.

Liverpool dominated the first half when they opened a lead of two goals thanks to strikes from Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz.

Arsenal, however, fought back after the break and saved a point through goals by Gabriel Martinelli and Mikel Merino.

They remain 15 points behind Liverpool, and still have work to do in their last two games to close second place.
