37 years ago today - Heysel Disaster

[Moss Side's Finest]

Thirty Seven years ago today, 39 people (almost all Juventus fans) died on terraces of the Heysel stadium, Brussels, when riots caused a wall to collapse before the European Cup final between Juventus and Liverpool. It is likely this won't be covered by the UK media as it never is, so just a little note to say that they are not forgotten, we remember them.

Seems quite fitting that Liverpool Football Club has absolutely nothing to celebrate today.

RIP and thoughts are with the families of those lost at the hands of a large section of Liverpool FC hooligans.

RIP the Juventus fans :(
Least the decent fans of the uk won’t allow this to be brushed under the carpet

Doubt we’ll hear much about this one today from our great British media

Wonder how Juventus feel about liverpool open top bus parade today

I actually remember watching this unfold, and at the time thinking nobody must have been killed as there’s no way they’d go on to play the game itself surely.

Football’s a great game, no doubt, but there are times when it gets things so so wrong and has a lot to answer for.

Never forgotten. Was on the way back from a French school trip, coach stopped off at Newport Pagnell services. Me and my friends went to the cafeteria. There were a row of TV screens that you watched as you queued up, all showing fucking horrible scenes. The whole cafeteria was pretty quiet. RIP.

As It was much needed

Liverpool Enjoy your Parade! Imagine how the Families of the Dead feel today! You don’t play on the Hillsborough Anniversary But you have a Party Parade on the Heysel Anniversary & You wonder why Everyone hates you!
