A special edition match programme was produced by the club.

And a pin badge plus commemorative book about the disaster was handed out free of charge to fans.

But a number of online sellers have caused outrage after attempting to flog the memorabilia for a huge profit on line.

One seller on eBay was even attempting to get almost £100 for the whole collection.
