Current memorial’s location deemed unsuitableJuventus to unveil their new tribute next week
Liverpool have unveiled plans for a new Heysel memorial at Anfield to mark the 40th anniversary of the disaster that claimed 39 lives before the 1985 European Cup final.
Entitled “Forever Bound”, the memorial will feature a Juventus scarf and a Liverpool scarf entwined in bronze, a dedication to the date and location of the tragedy and the names of the 39 people who were killed that night – 32 from Italy, four from Belgium, two from France and one from Northern Ireland – engraved on white Italian porcelain. It will replace the existing memorial that is located on the wall of the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand.
