Heysel: The long road towards closure

Time is a great healer. So it is said.

Thirty years on from that dreadful night in Brussels when 39 football fans were crushed and trampled to death in front of our eyes, it would be nice to say all the hurt has ended and the scars are gone. But that would be to cover up a shabby truth.

Over the past few days in Italy, Juventus and Juventus fans have paid their respects to those who died, while journalists and eye-witnesses have been remembering and reliving what happened at Heysel.
