I don't need to look it up, I have the eternal disgrace of being a Liverpool supporter to remind me of it, had friends present at the game and watched it, live, on TV.
Liverpool 'fans' started the violence, which infact was fairly limited but admittedly disgraceful. In panic, several thousand fans (mainly 'neutral' Belgian fans at the same 'end' as the Liverpool fans, the game being played at a neutral venue as European Cup finals were) rushed away from the Liverpool fans, towards one corner of the terrace. A wall collapsed, in the stadium which
clubs had warned before the game was not upto the standards required. More than forty people died, as a consequence of the collapse and being crushed. They were not stabbed or beaten to death.
Juventus fans were the ones wearing ski masks and invaded the pitch at the far end of the ground, some 200 yards away.
No-one danced on corpses.
Don't presume that in disagreement I wasn't aware of the facts. I am painfully aware of the facts of this case.
"put on ski masks at a game and then begun murdering the opposing fans and dancing on their corpses" are not the facts.
Look it up somewhere reliable.
