Heysel

Today anniversary

StringerBell

A seismic day for football, with long standing repercussions. Nobody should ever go to a game of football and not go home again. Often described as the darkest day in European football 39 dead and I believe over 600 injured.

Police and a number of Liverpool fans sentenced for manslaughter and the banning of all English teams from Europe. Hard to argue against it certainly being up there as one of the darkest anyway.

May they rest in peace.

A day of shame for English football and Liverpool in particular.

May they Rest in Peace

One of the darkest days of world football and you'd hope / think we will never see the likes of it again.

I remember it well even thought I was fairly young at the time. The English media were at pains to point out that it wasn't just the English fans to blame. That death list certainly implies it was.

I never realised there was 600 injured till reading about it few years ago.

600 people is nuts..I read about one man who had learn how walk again.

We remember the 39 dead and of course they suffered the ultimate faith sadly, but we cant forget the people who hold the scars still today. Sadly they are forgotten about.

Only 14 fans were sentenced and sadly many got away with it and probably still go to games to this day.

Thankfully we have only seen a handful of violence in stadium's since that day (EL final 2016 for one) and thankfully stadiums are much better equipped now.
