29 May 1985 is one of the saddest days in the history of Liverpool Football Club.

On what should have been a happy occasion as Liverpool took on Juventus in the European Cup final at the Heysel Stadium in Belgium, 39 fans of the Italian team died after fighting in the stands caused a wall to collapse.

In Memoria e Amicizia, in Memory and Friendship.
