On national tv have heard many scousers telling the world the country has forgotten them in their darkest hours and the government has let them down.. Not heard from anyone in Leeds, who have had more actual deaths? ? Professional victims??

Looking back, it's actually astounding that they played the game that night, after what happened.
RIP, those who passed.

The one thing I will never understand is how the match was ever played that same night, the players must have known people had been killed, even if they claim not to have seen their bodies lying on the ground.
How could the authorities have let the match go on? It's just truly unbelievable to me, even today. It's like all those poor innocent people that had just been crushed to death were an inconvenience.

I have read all the way through those harrowing accounts of the events of that night. Phil Neal however, what an absolute prick that bloke is.

For me it is one of those..."do you remember where you were when...." moments That day we had the last ever family day out Id have with my parents and my brother . Been in whitby all day then broke down on the way home. Remember being really pissed off because Id be missing the game on TV. Had to make do with the radio instead. Then it all happened. Probably the biggest surprise about what happened at heysel is that it hadn;t happened before. Fans kicking off on the terraces, others panicking to get out of the way. It was going to happen sooner or later and it just happened to be that game. You do get the feeling its been brushed under the carpet by Liverpool over the years and by the Liverpool loving british media. Might be wrong, but I just think youd hear more about it if it had been any other english club. And Phil Neal !! .. Dear me! That piece is 15 years old now and he should still feel ashamed of himself for carrying on like that.
