How exactly did it affect him, as a 15 year-old kid, in Spain? Who wrote him that script?

He used the words "I was a football mad kid in a football mad family" so I'd guess he was affected by the news coverage on TV just like 99.99% of the population of the UK was affected by the TV news coverage - don;t forget the game wasn't live on TV and most of what was first reported was done so via audio reports only, the video reports came later via TV news reports (not 24 hr news channels).

I'm assuming they had TV in Spain when he was 15 of course, or he may just have read The Sun.

The game itself wasn't live on TV (FA Cup Semi Finals weren't back then) but the tragedy itself as it was unfolding most certainly was. I still remember watching Grandstand that day as it cut to what it considered a newsworthy live feed at Hillsborough because the game had been suspended with players returning to the dressing rooms. Although not immediately apparent, it became increasingly obvious after about 5 minutes of that live feed that people were being crushed, dying or already dead.

I prefer to take in the news via a wide range of news agencies and then form my own opinions. I don't include Sky News in that range for the same reason I wouldn't consider it's even more objectionable cousin Fox News. Both reside under the TV-tabloid banner whose output consists mainly of right-wing shiyte. Anyhow, the mere sight of the vile, malevolent and reactionary Kay Burley ought to be sufficient reason to turn anyone off Sky News for life!

I was in France on the day as part of my degree (teaching to high school kids) and all anyone talked about for days after was Hillsborough and English hooligans. So it wasn't just the UK that it was covered in. Or people over 18
