With football still reeling from the tragedy of the Bradford fire at Valley Parade, just 18 days later, on 29 May 1985, came the Heysel Stadium disaster at the European Cup final between Liverpool and Juventus. Some 39 people, mostly Juventus fans, were killed and around 600 injured when a wall collapsed.Liverpool supporter Chris Rowland was there, and he later wrote his own account of those events, From Where I Was Standing. He joins Steven Scragg to discuss the tragedy, its causes and implications.
