37 years ago today - Heysel Disaster

Still can't believe they're having a parade today, zero awareness!!!
According to something Mrs Vienna read, Littlewoods claim it was the only possible date that they could have arranged it for.

R. I. P. the 39 innocents that died on that horrible day. It’s another of those events that I will always remember where I was and what I was doing, when I heard the awful news.
 
I remember coming home from playing football on the park & seeing it unfold on TV. I was 11 the same age as the youngest victim, heartbreaking & lessons are still not learnt when you can’t mention it.
 
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.

Me too I was a kid at the time. Seemed very unreal.
