BELGIUM marked the 25th anniversary of the Heysel stadium tragedy with a short ceremony yesterday to commemorate the 39 fans who died trying to flee a rush by hooligans at the 1985 European Cup final between Liverpool and Juventus.
A memorial service was to be followed by the laying of wreaths at a monument to the victims -- most of them Italian Juventus fans -- who died when a stadium wall collapsed under pressure of the surging crowd. Some 14 Liverpool fans were prosecuted for manslaughter for causing the disaster and English clubs were excluded from UEFA matches for five years -- with Liverpool shut out one year longer.
