LFC marks 33rd anniversary of Heysel Stadium disaster
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 Kenny Dalglish Stand at Anfield this morning by the club’s chief executive, Peter Moore.
“We will always remember those who lost their lives on this day at Heysel and use this moment to pay our respects,” said Moore.
“Heysel is a tragedy that will never be forgotten, and today Liverpool Football Club honours all of those impacted.”
