(Related article: Hillsborough) On 29 May 1985, 39 fans died at ageing Heysel Stadium in Brussels, Belgium, when a wall collapsed after Liverpool fans breached a section of the ground containing Juventus supporters before the start of the European Cup final. Despite the disaster, the game was played to avoid further crowd trouble. Juventus won 1-0. English clubs were subsequently banned from European competitions until 1990-91, with Liverpool excluded for a further year. A number of Liverpool fans were prosecuted for manslaughter.
