TOPMAN has pulled a T-shirt from sale after it was accused of mocking victims of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster with its design.

The red shirt had the word “Karma” down one sleeve and a large “96” on the back, along with a rose and the phrase “what goes around comes back around.”

Ninety-six Liverpool fans died in the Hillsborough disaster in the human crush at the start of an FA Cup semi-final.
