The resulting weight of people caused a retaining wall to collapse, killing 39 people and injuring hundreds more.

English hooligans ran amok in a decrepit stadium before the 1985 European Cup final and caused the deaths of 39 Juventus fans. As a result, English teams were banned from European football for five years (six years in the case of Liverpool). Falling attendances were evident throughout"
