Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that he is "proud" to have been asked to give a reading at this year's Hillsborough memorial service.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has revealed his pride at being asked to deliver a reading at the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough tragedy.

The Spaniard will be joined by Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers at the memorial service at Anfield on April 15 to remember the 96 Reds fans who died at an FA Cup semi-final at the Hillsborough stadium in 1989.

"I'm not sure how I can put it into words," the Liverpool Echo quotes Martinez as saying. "It goes beyond the rivalry in football.

"It is what football represents in the community, in everyone's lives and the passion we have living our lives involved with football.

"It goes beyond any rivalry. It fills me with real pride and I think it takes you all the way back to the history of the two football clubs. I am very proud. It is a proud moment."

Everton chairman Bill Kenwright gave a speech at last year's service.
