LFC marks 37th
anniversary of Heysel Stadium disaster
Liverpool FC
remembers the 39 football fans who lost their
lives at Heysel Stadium in Belgium on this day
37 years ago.
 The disaster occurred
before the European Cup final between Liverpool
and Juventus on May 29, 1985, when events in
Block Z of the stadium tragically led to the
deaths of 39 people and left hundreds more
injured. As a mark of respect to those who died,
floral tributes will be placed beside the Heysel
memorial plaque at Anfield’s Sir Kenny Dalglish
Stand on Sunday afternoon. The men’s team will
observe a period of reflection at the AXA
Training Centre to pay their respects following
their return from Paris after the Champions
League final. Flags across all club sites will
be flown at half-mast throughout the day. Sir
Kenny Dalglish also laid a wreath at Stade de
France ahead of kick-off in the Champions League
final on Saturday evening. Billy Hogan, LFC CEO,
said: "We come together as a club to pay our
respects to the 39 people who lost their lives
at Heysel and remember all those affected by
this tragedy. "Our club has a rich history,
which includes both times of joy and sorrow, and
it’s important that we respectfully remember and
reflect on the past whilst also celebrating our
successes in the present and future". In Memoria
e Amicizia, in Memory and Friendship (Lista
Vittime) Rest In Peace - You’ll Never Walk
Alone.
