He has certainly been put through the emotional ringer with Liverpool. He also played in the 1985 European Cup Final when 39 Juventus fans were killed due to the unaccetable behaviour of Liverpool thugs.

27 people were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by police after they assessed a great deal of security footage. This led to 14 Liverpool fans given 3 year jail sentences. Half of these sentences were suspended and it is unclear how many people were eventually imprisoned for the incident.

Is this a cover up that suited Liverpool at the time.

Following the disaster, an initial report placed the blame entirely at the feet of the Liverpool fans. UEFA observer Gunter Schneider had concluded "Only the English fans were responsible. Of that there is no doubt." However, no official enquiry into the incident was ever undertaken.

Sounds like it was swept under the carpet.

Justice for THE 39

What has been swept under the carpet exactly? Liverpool fans were found guilty and jailed,no one as far as I know has ever denied that Liverpool supporters were responsible,no lies,no cover up,no false accusations.

People went to jail for Heysel. Is that not justice being done?

It is unclear how many were imprisoned.

But that makes it allright.

...and all English clubs were banned from Europe for 5(?) years. I don't think that counts as sweeping it under the carpet either.

Seven were imprisoned,seven received suspended sentences along with a Poice officer and UEFA official if I recall correctly. And no that doesn't make it allright either. But it makes you look silly.

Class

It shouldn't be forgotten that of all the English clubs who suffered as a result of the 5 year ban after Heysel Everton were probably the worst affected, they won the league and Cup winners cup in 84/85 and had a real shot at being European cup winners the next season, but that chance was denied them, ironically by the actions of Liverpool fans ........ Heysel being the straw that broke the camel's back after years of football violence around Europe.

Its testament to the Liverpudlian sense of community that a state of affairs that would have caused real bitterness in many football cities seems to have been so easily put aside for a higher common cause.

Yes absolutely, the chants of "Merseyside,Merseyside,Merseyside" that could be heard at many a match after that was testament to the Unity between the two clubs.

Wonderful scenes at Goodison on the TV there.

That is simply outstanding from Everton Football Club. And from Roberto Martinez. Top top class.

What happened mate?

Had members of the families on the pitch before KO. Held a minutes applause. People in the stands visibly moved. Leighton baines looked choked up a bit. Martinez took time to hug and speak to each person as they left the pitch. Given his own circumstances lately it says a lot about him. It was just class from Everton.

Had some of the families of the 96 out on the pitch for a minutes applause as 'he ain't heavy, he's my brother played'.

Everton fans with a banner that said "justice at last 96 brothers in arms".

Martinez then hugging the families as they left the pitch

Watching it now, never seen it before. Difficult to watch. Disgraceful that it happened in the first place, and disgusting that it's taken so long to get to this point.

I can actually see why The Sun is still a popular newspaper in Scotland. There will be a significant number of it's readership that are too young to remember the Hillsborough disaster, but more importantly, the establishment, including South Yorkshire Police and West Midlands Police, who investigated the disaster before the Taylor report, as well as polititians and other media outlets who took part in a sustained campaign to cover up the truth and discredit the voices of those from Liverpool trying to expose the truth. That many in other parts of the UK could be forgiven for thinking that there was no smoke without fire in what was being reported.
The people of Liverpool knew the truth from day one as they were there.
What makes this such a disgrace is that we were all lied to for over 27 years, and some still refuse to accept responsibility.

This article from a survivor who was in the heart of the crush in pen 3 was in the Observer yesterday. Goes into very interesting detail on a lot of the points you make. Well worth a read,i thought i knew most of the story but some of the things mentioned just unbelievable.
