Torino.

[WBA1955]

That will get a few from the dark side viewing.

Torino used to be one of the best sides in the world, in the 1940's they won Serie A five times on the trot. In 1949 they were all killed in a plane crash, the lot of them, reserves and all.
Munich made Manchester United into a cult club, they would have been a big club today, but Munich made them popular thoughout the football world.
For Torino it was their death knell, after the disaster they struggled and were relegated. They have never been the same since.
The Torino tragedy is almost hardly mentioned today, i bet not many people have heard of it.
Strange the cards that fate deals you isn't it?

You're dead right there. As far as Liverpool FC are concerned, Hysell has been air brushed out of history. It's never referred to. It's a fact that Liverpool fans attacked the Juventus fans causing the wall to collapse. Also, one of the causes of the Hillsborough disaster was that so many of their fans were there without tickets. Why have none of the subsequent enquieries made mention of this fact?
