LFC marks 36th anniversary of Heysel Stadium disaster
Liverpool FC remembers the 39 football fans who lost their lives at Heysel Stadium in Belgium on this day 36 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 - mostly Juventus supporters - and left hundreds more injured.
As a mark of respect to those who died, a floral tribute was placed beside the Heysel memorial plaque on the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand at Anfield this morning by LFC ambassador Ian Rush and senior club official Jonathan Bamber.
Flags across all club sites are also being flown at half-mast throughout the day.
Bamber, senior VP, general counsel at Liverpool FC, said: “We come together today as a club to pay our respects to those who lost their lives at Heysel. We honour their memory and remember all those affected by this tragedy. They remain in our thoughts and they will never be forgotten.”
