In this podcast episode Jim White, Colin Shindler and Jon Holmes turn their attention to one of the darkest decades in recent football history - the 1980s. It wasn't all bad. We got to the quarter finals of the World Cup in 1986 and were unlucky to lose to a goal punched past Shilton by the Hand of God. We had a fascinating rivalry at the top of the game between the two sides based in Liverpool one of whom was not Tranmere Rovers. Three different English sides won the European Cup between 1980 and when we were banned from Europe after Heysel. However, if you look at the crowds during the decade there was a steep decline. The hooliganism was bad and getting worse, the government hated the game and everything to do with it and television was accordingly losing interest. The decade was the last chapter of the game as it had traditionally been played in this country and it culminated in one of the great finishes to the League Championship as Arsenal won at Anfield. Tragically too, it was the decade of Bradford fire and the Hillsborough disaster when 96 innocent people died needlessly. What are your feelings about football in the Eighties?

“The World Cup is a kind of religious feast. It's like Easter, or Passover, or Eid, but it's for all of humanity.” — A Church of England vicar, quoted by Simon KuperNick Hornby measured his (sad) life in Arsenal fixtures. The FT columnist Simon Kuper has measured his in World Cups. His new book, World Cup Fever: A Soccer Journey in Nine Tournaments, is the Kuper story told through the nine tournaments he attended as a journalist — from Italy 1990 to Qatar 2022.World Cup Fever is as irresistible as a Maradona slalom or a Pelé feint. In 1990, three Oxford students blag their way into Italy on Mars corporate tickets, pulling out library cards at the Swiss border to prove they're not Liverpool hooligans. In 1998, France's World Cup victory changes Kuper's life — he buys an apartment/office in Paris and never really leaves, even writing World Cup Fever there. In 2006, the newly reunited Germany reinvents itself as the nice guy of World Cups, and the German Football Association's designated handler of World War Two queries receives exactly zero calls. In 2014, Brazil loses one–seven to Germany in the most stunning result in tournament history — and Kuper watches Brazilian football lovers line the road to applaud the German bus.But, after Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022, those glory days might now be history, Kuper fears. The North American World Cup this summer will be the biggest yet — forty-eight teams, three host countries, and a grifter FIFA president (Gianni Infantino) not unlike Donald Trump. What could possibly go wrong?So who will win in 2026? Kuper thinks England have their best squad since 1966. Spain are probably the best team. Messi will be thirty-nine. But the World Cup has so many random elements that none of that really counts. What matters, a Church of England vicar told Kuper, is that the World Cup is a religious feast for all of humanity. In a time when we're increasingly lonely and miserable, it's the most joyous communal event we have. As the non-doctrinal Kuper promises, “it's like Easter, or Passover, or Eid, but it's for all of humanity.” Five Takeaways• Every World Cup, You Remember Where You Were: Kuper's first was 1978 — eight years old, sitting with his parents and grandparents in the Netherlands. His mother is now dead. His grandparents are long dead. But he can see it: June 25th, 1978. Nick Hornby measured his life in Arsenal fixtures. Kuper has measured his in World Cups.• The Oxford Library Card Got Them Past the Border Guards: Italy 1990. Three students blag World Cup tickets from Mars. The Italian border guards see “Liverpool” on a passport and think: hooligans. Five years after Heysel. They pull out their Oxford library cards. “Studenti, Oxford.” The guards make a snap sociological analysis and let them in.• One–Seven: The Wall Came Down: Brazil 2014. The home of World Cup football loses to Germany in the most shocking result in tournament history. Brazilian fans line the road to applaud the German bus. They've accepted it: the era is over. Brazil will never again be impregnable. Kuper compares it to the fall of the Berlin Wall — equally stunning, no going back.• The World Cup Is a Religious Feast for All of Humanity: A Church of England vicar told Kuper: it's like Easter, Passover, or Eid, but everyone's allowed to join. In a time when we're all atomised and on separate screens, the World Cup is the biggest communal event we have. Fans hug, exchange shirts, celebrate shared nationhood and shared humanity.• England's Best Chance Since 1966: Kuper and his co-author Stefan Szymanski say this is the strongest England squad in sixty years. One-in-six chance of winning. Spain are probably the best team. Messi will be thirty-nine. France have reached four of the last seven finals. But the World Cup has so many random elements that quality alone won't decide it. About the GuestSimon Kuper is a columnist for the Financial Times and the author of Soccernomics (with Stefan Szymanski), The Barcelona Complex, and World Cup Fever. Born in Uganda to South African parents, raised in the Netherlands, educated at Oxford, he lives in Paris.References:• World Cup Fever by Simon Kuper — the book under discussion.• Simon Kuper's FT column — his political and society writing for the Financial Times.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

Today we are joined by Alan McDougall, Professor of History at the University of Guelph, and the author of Dreams and Songs To Sing: A People's History of Liverpool F.C. From Shankly to Klopp (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2025). In our conversation, we discussed the rise of Liverpool as a global football club, the crises that beset the club during the Heysel and Hillsborough disasters, and the necessity of inherent optimism of fandom in contemporary sports. In Dreams and Songs to Sing, McDougall writes the history of Liverpool FC from Shankly to Klopp in a register that will appeal to both popular and scholarly readers. McDougall is a lifelong Liverpool supporter, and he is careful to point out where his connections to the club and its fandom might shade his examination, but he also shows how those same affective connections allow him to a unique entry point into issues only visible to fans and that supports can be even more critical than a detached observer. This is especially true in his investigation of Heysel and Hillsborough. The book proceeds roughly chronologically. The book's early chapters examine the club's connection to Liverpool's working-class district 4 and to their Anfield home ground. He pays special attention to the supporter's end - the notorious Kop. Using oral history interviews, McDougall illustrates the exceptional pull of the stadium to both local and global fans. The heart of the book is its engaging, thick description of the club's history during the Shankly era. McDougall shows that not only was Shankly a very successful manager, and quite funny, but that he ran the club with a sense of Liverpool's local identity. A man who arrived at the right time – he benefitted from Liverpool's growing global reputation; Beatlemania gave the city a sound but players and fans rubbed shoulders with comics, musicians, and poets. Shankly embodied the very local socialist, working-class attitudes of the majority of club supporters. His retirement shook the whole city. McDougall uses a family repository of letters to show how people from around the city, the country, and the world wrote to him to express sadness at him leaving and to wish him luck. McDougall's account might be from an insider, but his analysis does not shy away from shining a light on the difficult social politics that accompanied the club's enormous success on the field. European Cup victories sit alongside the deadly hooligan violence at Heysel. Black players like Howard Gayle and John Barnes face racism from the club's supporters. The club first ignores and then undervalues the rise of women's football. McDougall's history ends in the Klopp era – perhaps a mercy to Liverpool fans! He shows how the contemporary club embodies the idea of a global club with a local heart. The international ownership of the club has successfully navigated the rise of the Premier League and the increasing commercialization of European football, but local supporters have been innovative at creating a culture of resistance to changes that could undermine the glocal identity of Liverpool. Klopp symbolized this new football club: cosmopolitan, emotional, forward, successful. Compelling and hard to put down, McDougall's Dreams and Songs to Sing will appeal to all readers of sports history. It will be of particular interest to Liverpool supporters and football fanatics.

Welcome back to It Was What It Was, the football history podcast. In this second part of our two-part special on football hooliganism, co-hosts Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper trace the roots of football violence from the 1890s through to its transformation into organised ‘firms' in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. They discuss the origins of the word ‘hooligan', early crowd disorder and FA crackdowns, and how post-war prosperity, youth subcultures, away travel and ‘taking ends' helped create a new kind of fan conflict. The episode also covers the European and England-team flashpoints of the 1970s and 80s, the political and policing response to the Popplewell Report, with later links to post-Hillsborough reforms and why large-scale hooliganism declined.You can listen to this episode ad-free over on our Patreon - Follow the link here - or go to Patreon.com and search for It Was What It Was.

The Assistant Professor of Football: Soccer, Culture, History.
Every time one of the big clubs show up on this humble podcast, the audience is a little larger - and maybe I should do more on the likes of Bayern or Liverpool. But I always shirk back a bit. Too mainstream, I think. And if you like Liverpool, wouldn't you have found another, more professional media outlet already? If that is you, I think you need to buy this book. And, first, hear about it: Alan McDougall has written what the subtitle says is a peoples' history of Liverpool F.C. I would say it's a global people's history. Published by Cambridge University Press, the book is very readable and accessible, but with high scholarly standards. Not a straight up club history, always with an eye on culture, society and football more broadly, but never far from the club the author has grown up to love. It's a story of deindustrialization, migration, the tragedies of Heysel and Hillsborough, and Bill Shankly and Jürgen Klopp. Alan McDougall is a professor of history at the University of Guelph in Canada, and he has been on before to talk about his fabulous older book The People's Game about soccer in Eastern Germany. For this one, he has returned to his football home, and done what not many club histories do: a book you'll enjoy reading, following its connections and learning about its world even if you don't support Liverpool.HELPFUL LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE:Alan McDougall, professional pageDreams and Songs to Sing, book websiteHillsborough Law campaignHeysel Stadium catastrophe, TV footage (warning, graphic imagery)NEW: send me a text message!

Un basquetbolista acérrimo y el fundador del Colectivo de Hombres con Espaldas Angostas (C.H.E.A.) se unen para producir el episodio menos previsible de la historia de Pop y Muerte. Benja Villegas, reputado merenguta, glosa la tragedia de Munich y el renacimiento fenixesco del Man Utd; forma un once inicial de futbolistas criminales; y cierra con un espectacular Top 10 de frases de futbolistas retrasados. Kiko Amat, fuera de su elemento pero inasequible al desaliento, empieza trazando la historia de la subcultura Casual desde que el primer scally granujiento se calzó unas Samba (y le enchufó un cate al scouser que tenía al lado) y termina con las tragedias de Heysel y Hillsborough (NEVER FORGET).

Stadioanele au evoluat de-a lungul timpului într-un mod uimitor. Muzeul MAXXI din Roma a dedicat o expoziție în care stadioanele au fost descrise din mai multe puncte de vedere: arhitectonic, antropologic, politic, economic, cultural și artistic. Construcții urbane impunătoare, stadioanele joacă roluri variate în viața orașelor și a locuitorilor lor. Muzeul MAXXI din Roma dedică o amplă expoziție stadioanelor privite din multiple puncte de vedere: arhitectonic, antropologic, politic, economic, cultural și bineînțeles artistic. Urmând un parcurs cronologic expoziția prezintă evoluția acestor edificii în timp și spațiu. În Grecia antică stadionul reprezenta o unitate de măsură pentru cursele de sprint, dar și locul sacru în care jocurile sportive erau dedicate lui Zeus. În Roma antică el a pierdut dimensiunea spirituală, devenind arenă de divertisment al maselor datorită căreia s-a născut binecunoscuta expresie: pâine și circ. Demn de reținut este faptul ca odată cu declinul Imperiului Roman și ascensiunea creștinismului stadioanele și-au pierdut rolul public timp de cincisprezece secole. Competițiile sportive și manifestările de masă s-au diminuat și s-au mutat în piețele publice sau pe terenuri extraurbane. Abia în secolul XIX a apărut din nou ideea de a crea în orașe structuri specific dedicate competițiilor sportive. Sursa video: youtube.com / Museo MAXXI Noțiunea de stadion modern este legată de numele arhitectului scoțian Archibald Leitch 1865-1939 care a conceput primele spații sportive închise ca structuri strict funcționale alcătuite în principal din lemn și metal. Cu timpul, evoluția stadioanelor a fost marcată de inovații cum ar fi lumina artificială care a extins orarele de funcționare a acestora, a atras un număr ridicat de spectatori ceea ce a condus la ridicarea veniturilor cluburilor sportive. Odată cu inventarea betonului armat terenurile sportive au căpătat o formă monumentală. Astfel ele au devenit puncte de reper pentru anumite cartiere dar și teatre pentru evenimente care au depășit domeniul sportiv. În secolul XX stadioanele au început să intre din ce în ce mai mult în relație cu locuitorii Arenele, întruchipează un orgoliu civic dând expresie emoțiilor personale și de grup. Ele reprezintă unul dintre puținele spații dedicate fenomenelor de efervescență colectivă. Pot fi asociate cu aspecte pozitive pentru că sunt un spațiu care permite eliberarea emoțiilor și comportamentului prea controlat, dar și negative pentru că impulsurile nestăpânite se pot transforma în violență și anarhie. Tot în acest secol stadioanele au servit ca scenă festivă pentru regimurile autoritare, fiind un loc de manipulare sau revendicare a unor identități colective politice, regionale, etnice sau religioase. Imagini cu stadioanele din Berlin și Nürnberg în care naziștii făceau parade sunt de tristă amintire. În anii 60-70 aria de utilizare a stadioanelor s-a extins la evenimente culturale cum ar fi concertele sau paradele de modă. Anii 80 s-au confruntat cu probleme de siguranță și disciplină obligând proprietarii de cluburi la mari investiții. Anul acesta s-au împlinit 40 de ani de la tragedia de pe stadionul Heysel de la Bruxelles când într-o învălmășeală infernală la finala Cupei Campionilor Europeni la fotbal, meciul Juventus-Liverpool, au murit 39 de oameni, striviți sau sufocați. O catastrofă umanitară. Secolul 21, stadioane futuriste La începutul actualului secol, stadionul s-a transformat într-un instrument de marketing urban care a atras atenția arhitecților de faimă internațională. Fie în noi construcții, fie în renovări, stadioanele se bucură în prezent de cele mai avansate tehnologii: acoperișuri retractabile, terenuri mobile, ecrane LED. Fiind spații închise cu un public captiv ele sunt folosite intens în scopuri comerciale. Spectatorul este considerat pe de o parte ca un consumator pasiv asaltat de reclame, dar și ca participant activ în căutarea unor experiențe de neuitat. Stadioanele futuriste construite pentru Cupa Mondială din Qatar sunt exemple elocvente iar cele pentru următorul Campionat Mondial cel din America depășesc orice imaginație. Dacă la ediția din urmă cu mai bine de trei decenii SUA a impresionat lumea întreagă cu nouă stadioane dintre cele mai atractive pentru acel moment, de această dată nu mai puțin de 11 arene de ultimă generație vor face ca sportul rege să beneficieze de cele mai bune condiții.
For all the surprises in English football in the mid-eighties, the real power still remained on Merseyside. 1985/86 saw both Liverpool and Everton locked in a battle for an historic Double right up until the final games of the season. With Everton the newly crowned champions and now with the best English striker of his generation and Liverpool still reeling from Heysel and the introduction of a club legend into an old-fashioned role, it was a season of momentum swings and sporting drama. In the background was a city under political siege and the final showpiece may have just saved football in the country for good. Gary Naylor is in the blue corner, Tony Evans in the red and Martyn tries to get a word in now and again as a famous season story is revisited.

Il tema della violenza dei tifosi diventa centrale nel calcio, a partire dagli anni Ottanta e in particolare dopo la tragedia dell'Heysel. Il governo britannico, sotto la guida di Margareth Thatcher, è il primo ad affrontare la questione da un punto di vista politico, con risultati in realtà molto contraddittori, ma di lì poco anche in altri paesi ci si troverà a discutere di come comportarsi con i tifosi negli stadi.Per parlare di questo argomento, è stato invitato il giornalista e scrittore Indro Pajaro.LE FONTI USATE PER QUESTO EPISODIO:LOUIS Sébastien, Ultras.

My guest is Chris Lepkowski, whose new book, The Slum Sport, tells the story of the difficult post-Heysel, post-Bradford fire season, when English football was at its lowest ebb and hooliganism was rife. Chris argues that the 1985/86 season was, in many ways, a turning point that led ultimately to the creation of the Premier League in 1992.

En avril 1958, Bruxelles accueille l'Exposition universelle sur le plateau du Heysel. Le roi Baudouin inaugure l'événement sous le signe de la paix, du progrès et de la coopération. Symbole majeur : l'Atomium, molécule de fer géante imaginée par André Waterkeyn, incarnation de la modernité. L'Expo transforme Bruxelles (tunnels, pavillons, 200 hectares aménagés) et attire 46 nations. Après des débuts timides, un « scandale » médiatique relance la fréquentation. Au final, plus de 41 millions de visiteurs découvrent innovations, pavillons spectaculaires et contradictions, entre optimisme scientifique et survivances coloniales. Clôturée en octobre 1958, l'Expo laisse un héritage durable : l'Atomium, les infrastructures, et le rayonnement international qui contribuera à faire de Bruxelles la capitale européenne.

Dani Blanco repasa la tragedia que sucedió en el estadio de Heysel el 29 de mayo de 1985.
Michael Hamell, who attended the 1985 European Cup Final in Brussels, reflects on the 40th anniversary of the Heysel disaster in which 39 Juventus fans died.
Trentanove persone persero la vita allo stadio Heysel di Bruxelles, prima della finale di coppa dei campioni tra Juventus e Liverpool.Quarant'anni fa, il momento più tragico della storia del calcio cambiò per sempre la nostra percezione e la passione per quella disciplina sportiva. L'evento segnò centinaia di famiglie in tutta Europa (i feriti furono oltre seicento), i giocatori in campo, gli spettatori davanti alla televisione, i giornalisti presenti allo stadio, chiamati a raccontare una vicenda che ancora oggi lascia increduli e impotenti.undefinedEsiste un “prima” e un “dopo” Heysel. Lo sport ha provato a rimuovere quella vicenda (il sito della UEFA dedicato alla Champions' League non riporta nulla di quel match se non il tabellino con giocatori, marcatori e ammoniti, perfino lo stadio viene chiamato con il nome assegnato in seguito, ovvero “Re Baldovino”), l'arte e la letteratura invece non hanno dimenticato, e ancora oggi si interrogano sulle conseguenze di quell'evento. Per la nostra società civile, per la storia e per tutti noi.undefinedCon Massimo Raffaeli, saggista, critico letterario traduttore del lavoro “Le gradinate dell'Heysel” del saggista e critico belga Pol Vandromme. Alberto Cerruti, decano dei giornalisti sportivi e commentatore del Corriere del Ticino, e il contributo delle Teche RSI, con interviste al calciatore Paolo Rossi, al regista Tullio Emilio Giordana e a Gabriele Albertini, commentatore televisivo della RSI presente alla partita. Tenemmo la Coppa, il sangue era nostroundefined
Bruselas, 29 de mayo de 1985. Un estadio con más de medio siglo de existencia y sin reformas integrales desde hace más de una década está a punto de albergar la final de la Copa de Europa. Liverpool y Juventus se disputan el cetro continental en un escenario anticuado, y bajo unas medidas de seguridad sobrepasadas. Y eso que el fútbol -primero el británico y luego el europeo- lleva mucho tiempo emitiendo señales de alerta. Cinco años antes, en 1980, los hinchas del Valencia CF casi no pudieron celebrar la Recopa de su equipo ante las agresiones de los hooligans del Arsenal. ¿El escenario? El mismo Heysel que ahora se dispone a acoger el capítulo más negro en la historia de la Copa de Europa.

Era la final de la entonces llamada Copa de Europa, 1985. En el estadio de Heysel, en Bruselas, se citaron Liverpool y Juventus, para disputar el partido y sus respectivas aficiones. Pero aquella tarde, una hora antes de que comenzará a rodar el balón, una avalancha humana provocada en la zona Z del estadio acabó con la vida de 39 aficionados y dejó 600 heridos. El fútbol tenía un problema, los ultras, y todo lo que allí sucedió no podía volver a pasarse por alto; medidas de seguridad, médicas, situación del estadio...

Barcelona, 24 de mayo de 1972. El Camp Nou se engalana para albergar la final de la Recopa de Europa. Más de 20.000 escoceses acompañan al Rangers en su victoria sobre el Dinamo de Moscú. Pero no se limitan a animar: antes, durante y después del partido protagonizan incidentes, algaradas y agresiones a la policía. La invasión de campo final deja decenas de heridos y desperfectos millonarios. Por primera vez España -y Europa- asiste a un fenómeno nuevo: el hooliganismo, también conocido como la ‘enfermedad británica’. Solo hace cuatro meses que los cines del Reino Unido han estrenado una película rompedora. ‘La naranja mecánica’ de Stanley Kubrick traslada a la pantalla cómo la frustración juvenil de posguerra está hallando en la violencia una forma de identidad. Tribus urbanas, desempleo juvenil y la épica de lo brutal empiezan a mezclarse en la coctelera social de los 70. Es algo que los estadios, primero británicos y luego europeos, van a ir experimentando. Incidentes cada vez más brutales irán jalonando el largo descenso del fútbol hasta llegar a un sitio y una fecha: Heysel, 29 de mayo de 1985.

Tal día como hoy, el 20 de mayo de 1973, el Atleti logró su 7º título nacional de Liga al ganar por 3-1 al Deportivo de La Coruña, al cual mandaba a 2ª. Los goles fueron anotados por Luis Aragones (39'), Adelardo (63') y Gárate (66'), y Prieto (78') marcó para los visitantes. Esa victoria en el campeonato fue la que nos permitió disputar la temporada siguiente la Copa de Europa, en la que alcanzamos nuestra 1ª final, de infausto recuerdo en el Estadio de Heysel en Bruselas contra el Bayern de Múnich. En el campeonato nacional de Liga, el pasado jueves en partido disputado en el Sadar a las 19:00, el Atleti volvió a su estado de empanamiento fuera de casa cosechando una derrota por 2-0 frente a Osasuna. El domingo, por contra, en el último partido en casa de la temporada, el Atleti ganó por 4-1 al Betis, despidiendo la afición de manera oficiosa a Ángel Martín Correa Martínez, tras una década en la plantilla, con 1 Liga, 1 Europa League y 1 Supercopa de Europa, además de 1 Mundial y 1 Copa América con su selección, aún no sabemos oficialmente si nos deja el único jugador que ha celebrado un gol desde el banquillo gracias al VAR y quien nos llevó al éxtasis en Valladolid con su gol de puntín, pues hay informaciones contrapuestas. De todos modos, gracias por todo Angelito, siempre te querremos. El siguiente partido será el próximo domingo día 25 de Mayo, a las 14:00 en Montilivi, para cerrar la Liga contra un Girona que no se juega nada, al igual que el Atleti.Disfruten del programa.

Le 29 mai 1985, la finale de la Coupe des Clubs Champions entre la Juventus et Liverpool se déroule au stade du Heysel, à Bruxelles. Dès le matin, des doutes émergent sur la vétusté du stade et l'insuffisance des mesures de sécurité. Quelques heures avant le coup d'envoi, la tension monte entre les supporters des deux équipes. Les hooligans de Liverpool attaquent la tribune Z, occupée par des tifosis italiens et des spectateurs neutres. Pris de panique, ces derniers tentent de fuir, provoquant un mouvement de foule fatal. Sous la pression, un mur vétuste du stade s'effondre, entraînant la mort de 39 personnes et des centaines de blessés. Malgré l'horreur, le match est maintenu et la Juventus l'emporte 1-0. Ce drame entraîne des sanctions lourdes contre les clubs anglais et marque un tournant dans la gestion de la sécurité dans les stades. Le Heysel, devenu symbole de cette tragédie, sera reconstruit et renommé stade Roi Baudouin.

Gavin Buckland discusses his new book The End with ECHO Everton reporter Chris Beesley in a special edition of the Royal Blue podcast. Everton's official statistician Gavin is a regular guest on the podcast and having already penned Money Can't Buy Us Love: Everton in the 1960s and Boys From The Blue Stuff, which charts the rise of the club's most successful side in the 1984/85 season, the third instalment covers the period from 1985 to 1994 as the Blues slip from being the best team in the land and primed for more European glory to hanging on to their Premier League status by a thread. In between, there is the post-Heysel ban, missing out on the double to Liverpool, Everton's last title success in 1986/87, Howard Kendall's exit to Spain, Colin Harvey's elevation to manager, Kendall's subsequent return and the painful experiment with Mike Walker that almost cost the Blues their place in the top flight, all set against the backdrop of a takeover saga following the death of Goodison grandee, Sir John Moores. ‘The End', a book by Gavin Buckland is out now.
