Branko Vukoslavovic Graphic Design Echo: Sister makes Hillsborough appeal 20th Jan 2014 - Media Watch The sister of a Hillsborough victim said she is desperate to trace the men she thinks may have helped her brother in his final moments. Andrew Brookes, 26, was one of the 96 killed in the 1989 disaster. Sister Louise, 42, said she hoped pictures of four men she believes tried to help him will lead her to find the full story of what happened to Andrew. To view the pictures now, click here. Louise said: I am just desperate to find these guys. This is the familys last opportunity. Were not going to get another opportunity and I cant come back in 10 years and ask for another inquest because Ive found something else out. Andrew, a car assembly line worker at Longbridge in Birmingham, died at the fateful FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest. Louise, who used to live in Fazakerley, said she first got hold of photos showing the men who helped him in 1996. She said: I found two people from the pictures in 1997 but I really want to find more of them now. Ive been trying to piece together exactly what happened to Andrew for almost 25 years now and keep getting little bits of the picture. Things are finally coming together and I am just so desperate to find these witnesses and get the last pieces of the jigsaw. She has been posting the images on Twitter in the hope someone recognises the men pictured. Louise, from Bromsgrove in Worcestershire, said her priority was to find a man she believes to be a doctor who is shown in the pictures wearing a beige jacket, blue shirt and brown cords. She said people who were there on the day would remember Andrew, who she describes as the image of Liverpool FC goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar. She said: Anyone who saw my brother on the day will have remembered it because his trousers had come off so they will have noticed he wasnt fully clothed. I am just desperate to find witnesses, in particular a man called Brian Johnson who I know was living in Maghull in 1997. This is really important for me and my dad as I we have no other family. Louise appealed to anyone who could help to get in touch with her solicitors. Contact Birnberg Peirce & Partners on 020 7911 0166 and quote Team Hillsborough, Louise Brookes Witness Appeal.
