May 29th- Remembering the Heysel Disaster

Today is the 23rd anniversary of what is called "the darkest day in Uefa competitions," the Heysel Disaster. For any unfamiliar with it, during the European Cup final in Brussels, Liverpool fans knocked down a retaining wall of the Heysel Stadium, killing 39 people, 32 of them being Italian Juventus fans.

Heysel Tribute

It's a sobering day to remember and we must all remember somethign- no matter how much we love to bash those at the Palermo Offside, the Chris-led Roma cult or even, yes, the Interistas, that we all love football, soccer, calcio, the beautiful game, and there is no reason why any fans should die watching the team they love.
