Heysel. Eye witness. The end where it happened was supposed to be empty as the terracing concrete was crumbling. 75% to 80% of those eventually let in by Stadium authorities, Belgian Police and EUFA were Italian. They started to further break up the concrete and lob it at Liverpool fans who were the other side of the fencing. Then I saw 2 Liverpool fans carried out with stab wounds inflicted by Italians. Then a gun appeared, later turned out to be a starting pistol, it was at that point that Scousers at that end kicked off, others climbed over the fencing and joined in, the Italians ran and, most tragically, 32 of them died, along with 4 Belgians, 2 Frenchmen and a Northern Irish man.

A tragedy. One in which Italians are worthy of as much criticism as Liverpool fans.
