Labour’s Ian Byrne, 50, a survivor of the sporting disaster, said the vile slurs “shame the game” and highlight a need for more education. “The incessant chanting that is now a weekly occurrence must be tackled at the root causes,” he said.
Mr Byrne’s letter to the League’s chief executive Richard Masters comes after chants about Hillsborough were heard during Liverpool’s clash with Manchester City last month.
A total of 97 supporters died following the fatal crush at the Sheffield Wednesday ground in April 1989 when Liverpool were playing Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup.
In the email, the Liverpool West Derby MP said: “I cannot stress enough the detrimental impact these chants are having on the families of the 97, survivors and their families.”
Since the events at this year’s UEFA final in Paris – in which Liverpool fans were wrongly blamed for another near disaster – many had been “triggered” and “were struggling”, he said.
“Enough really is enough and we need actions from the Premier League and all football clubs to ensure this stops.”
Mr Byrne urged the League to back his Real Truth Legacy Project, which aims to educate people about what really happened.
He has also asked Education Secretary Gillian Keegan to add the Hillsborough disaster to the school curriculum. An Education Department spokesman said schools could already include it, using the flexibility of the curriculum.
