http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/latest-news/28-years-on-heysel-remembered Liverpool Football Club today remembers the 39 football fans who died on this day 28 years ago at Heysel Stadium in Belgium Club flags will be flown at half-mast all day as a mark of respect to those who lost their lives, while managing director Ian Ayre will place a floral tribute at the foot of the Heysel Memorial Plaque in the Centenary Stand this morning. The tragedy unfolded on May 29, 1985, at the European Cup final between Liverpool and Juventus, when what should have been one of the greatest nights in the club's history turned into a nightmare. Instead of leaving Brussels having seen our team lift a fifth European Cup, Liverpool supporters travelled back to England having witnessed the deaths of 39 football supporters - including 32 Italian fans of Juventus, four Belgians, two from France and one man from Northern Ireland - following the collapse of a wall.
