Today marks 23 years since the two Leeds fans were murdered supporting their team in Istanbul.

No one should ever go to a football game and never return.

RIP.

One of them used to be the landlord of my local here in Farsley.

And not long after that the swamp rats took a banner to Elland Road saying Istanbul Reds.

Gave your post a like out of respect - not sure whether it's appropriate but I couldn't agree more with your sentiments.
RIP indeed.

Devastating night in Istanbul which will never be forgiven or forgotten . No one should lose there life at a football game .

And they whine when Munich is mentioned .

Scum.

All three clubs who have had tragedies all sing songs/take the piss out of the others. Leeds sing Munich, Rags sing about Hillsborough and have Turkey flags and Galatasaray shirts.

You'd think those three would be less likely....

Bradford don't....

Horrible night for them lads and anyone in the centre minding their own business.

A lot of the Leeds fans that night were winding up the locals, mooning them and wiping their arse with their Turkish currency. Throw in lots of booze someone was going to get in the crossfire. It just so happens they chose a load of people enjoying a burger.

There all as bad as each other ...........Leeds have been pulling this kind of stuff years before this happened ......... mocking Busby during a minutes silence ...... Munich songs .......... sadly it’s just cheap point scoring

Very sad.
If I remember rightly UEFA didn't ban the turkish club from europe when they should have.
