Liverpool FC is remembering the 39 fans who lost their lives in the Heysel Stadium disaster 37 years ago today.

The disaster happened on May 29, 1985, before the European Cup final between Liverpool and Juventus.

A crush of fans occurred in the stadium's stands, resulting in the deaths of 39 people and the injuries of hundreds more.

The disaster was caused by rioting Liverpool fans who charged Juventus fans.

The Heysel Stadium disaster is one of the darkest days in the history of football.

Liverpool FC has never forgotten the victims of the disaster, and the club holds a memorial service at Anfield every year.

The club also works closely with the Heysel Memorial Foundation, which was set up to support the families of the victims.
