On this day

Some notable deaths on April 30th over the years:

Mino Raiola - football agent (2022)
Ben E. King - singer (2015)
Gerry Ryan - RTE presenter (2010)
Roland Ratzenberger - Austrian F1 driver (1994)
Tommy Caton - former Arsenal player - 1993
Sergio Leone - film director (1989)
Muddy Waters - blues legend (1983)
Eva Braun - German socialite (1945)

I see you list Eva Braun, wouldn’t that mean Adolf himself also died on the 30th? :thinking:

Tommy Caton. There’s a blast from the past

I always thought Muddy Waters were a band rather than a person.

:roll_eyes::roll_eyes:

I knew you’d be disappointed. But not surprised

Adolf who?

A little bit of hope in this for Luton this weekend

Never forget.

I swear you’ll never see anything like this ever again! So watch it, drink it in.

80,000 Celtic fans travel to Sevilla to see Porto beat them.

Start of Mourinho era.

But the plaudits went to Hoops.

Any of the TFKCSC at it?

I think some of the older bhoys like @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy & @Funtime were there. I watched it in Dakota in Wexford - I think this is the site of the current T Morris.

Clive Tyldesley voice what’s your memories of that day @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy @Funtime?

On the day of 20, 20 years ago today

40 years ago today, 29 May 1985, Liverpool ‘fans’ went on the rampage at the Heysel Stadium. 39 lost their lives.

Horrendous. Mental to think the game went ahead with 39 dead.

There was a tough listen on Morning Ireland before 8am. An Irish lad living in Brussels at the time. Was stuck in the middle of it. Got up with two dead bodies beside him. Still scarred from it. He knew where the blame lay.

It was the subject of Miscellany Sunday last weekend. Thought it was odd the day Liverpool were presented with the league trophy

I think it was lawrenson who ended up in hospital in Brussels after the game and he was told to take off his Liverpool tracksuit top as the Italians were going mental in there
