Liverpool have unveiled plans for a new memorial to commemorate Heysel.

This month marks the 40th anniversary of the tragedy which claimed the lives of 39 predominantly Juventus supporters before the 1985 European Cup final in Brussels.

A tribute to the victims was previously unveiled at Anfield outside the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand in 2010 to commemorate a quarter of a century since Heysel.

But the Reds confirmed on Wednesday that the existing plaque, which will be moved to another location, and replaced by a new memorial titled ‘Forever Bound’.

The new tribute will feature two scarves tied together to symbolise the bond forged between both clubs since events of that fateful evening in the Belgian capital.

Anfield chiefs will delay the official unveiling of the tribute out of respect to Juventus, who will be unveiling their own new memorial on May 29, the date of the disaster.

Ian Rush, who represented both clubs and played in the game, will join CEO Billy Hogan as part of a Liverpool delegation for the ceremony in Turin later this month.

He said: “To see a new memorial created with such care means a lot and it’s incredibly important to have a fitting tribute to remember the 39 fans who lost their lives.

“We must never forget why this matters, and why we continue to stand together in solidarity, all these years later.”
