Johnny Depp spotted wearing Hillsborough J96 badge
Johnny Depp paid a visit to Folly Wildlife Rescue centre in Broadwater Forest near Tunbridge Wells, Kent on Thursday. He posted a short video of himself cuddling a badger cub called Freddie during his visit and curiously, keen-eyed viewers noticed that he was wearing a Hillsborough J96 badge on the left pocket of his camo jacket.
The badge shows solidarity for the victims of the Hillsborough disaster in which 97 Liverpool fans lost their lives due to negligence by authorities before an FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest in April 1989. After a police cover-up and smear campaign was exposed, a verdict was reached that supporters attending the game had been unlawfully killed following a lengthy investigation and trial.
“Johnny was incredibly complimentary and in his own words ‘blown away’ by what he saw” the Rescue Centre posted on Facebook.
