THE ECHO can exclusively reveal that Rafa Benitez today donated £96,000 to the Hillsborough Family Support Group as he gets set to leave Merseyside.

The former Liverpool FC boss, who was today confirmed as the new manager at Inter Milan, handed over the cheque to Margaret Aspinall, chairwoman of the HFSG, as the rest of the committee watched on this afternoon.

In a low key visit to the group's office, Benitez wished the group well and told them he hoped they would get the justice and the truth they are campaigning for.

Mrs Aspinall said: \"It was just nice to know that he wanted to see us before he went.\"

Easy to be cynical as he has just received a large payoff, but still, a pretty decent gesture from the fat waiter.

Like you say, easy to be cynical, but at the end of th day he wasnt duty bound to donate a penny so thats a really nice gesture.

He has chipped in what to him may not be a huge amount from his pay off but MAY BE doubling the coffers of the recipients fighting fund

Always seemed a genuine bloke and good luck to him ecpecially after that gesture
