Liverpool are to honour the memory of the 39 Juventus fans who died at the Heysel disaster with a permanent tribute at Anfield this week. Tomorrow, three days before the 25th anniversary of the tragedy, the club will unveil a plaque at the entrance to the Centenary Stand in front of officials from both clubs. Former Liverpool captain Phil Neal and Sergio Brio, who both played in the 1985 European Cup final, will attend along with Gianluca Pessotto, the former Juventus defender and current director of youth development.

Later this week a delegation from Anfield will visit Turin to attend commemoration events in the Italian city. Tomorrow's event is part of a series of commemorations this week in Liverpool. Anfield is already home to a permanent memorial to the 96 fans killed in the Hillsborough disaster in 1989.

Well you have the looks of a Western, you'll have all the time in the world before they realize it's you stabbing and kicking them. They might assassin a couple of Pakistanis and middle easterns along the way too :D

Blondu was objecting on bianco calling what Rab suggested doing, pathetic. So he asked him to take a look at the 1st post of this thread to realize it's not pathetic of Rab to think the way he did.


Or so I think he meant :shifty:

Why is Heysel any more 'touching' a tragedy than any other incident resulting in deaths in a football stadium?
Because a freakin wall was brought down on a Juve section of the stadium that wasn't even interested in riots but rather packed with families and young but that didn't stop Hooligans did it?

Now name me one football stadium tragedy that has this high number of victims killed other than Hillsborough where it wasn't even riots that caused their death but rather the over-packed stadium.

Then again it wasn't riots that started the whole tragedy but rather a flaming match or cigarette accedently starting the fire.

Im talking about a tragedy where fans were cold bloodily murdered as hooliganism victims. That IMO is what makes this the most touching tragedy in football history the fact that these people were killed for nothing but being Juve fans. That happened nowhere else other than Heysel.

I don't know why it matters to you which football disaster is the most 'touching' in scenarios where people died when they shouldn't have.

Liverpool fans weren't trying to kill Juve fans.

It was just an unfortunate sequence of events that resulted in tragedy.

You clearly either don't have sufficient understanding of what happened and what football was like then or you are deliberating choosing to view it in a certain way which is extremely biased against Liverpool.
