Når jeg skriver som jeg gør, er det jo fordi at mange af Juventus-supporterne døde under murbrokkerne af den mur, som kollapsede da de forsøgte at flygte fra Liverpool-hooligansene. Jeg prøver ikke at fritage sidstnævnte for skyld.
Fra Wikipedia:
As kick-off approached, the throwing became more intense. A group of Liverpool fans moved towards the side perimeter wall, near to the corner flag. Some tried to climb over the wall to escape. Many escaped; however, the wall could not withstand the force of the fleeing Juventus supporters and collapsed.
It was at this point that the majority of the deaths occurred — 39 people died, and a further 600 were injured.
Despite its status as Belgium´s national stadium, Heysel Stadium was in a poor state of repair by the time of the 1985 European Final. The 55-year-old stadium had not been well maintained for several years, and large parts of the stadium were crumbling. For example, the outer wall had been made of cinder block, and fans who did not have tickets were seen kicking holes in it to get in. Liverpool players and fans later said that they were shocked at the abject conditions of the ground, despite reports from Arsenal fans that the stadium was a "dump" when the Gunners played there a few years earlier. They were also surprised that Heysel was chosen despite its poor condition, especially since Barcelona´s Camp Nou and Madrid´s Bernabéu were both available. Liverpool CEO Peter Robinson urged UEFA to choose another venue, claiming that Heysel was not suitable to host a European Final, but UEFA refused to consider a move.
