The mayor of the Liverpool City Region has spoken of the importance of remembering the causes of the Heysel stadium disaster 40 years on.Steve Rotheram was at the match on 29 May 1985 when 39 people died before the European Cup Final in Brussels.

A group of Liverpool fans at Heysel Stadium had charged towards a section housing mostly Juventus supporters, resulting in the collapse of a wall.Mr Rotheram, who was in another part of the stadium at the time, said "for our city it's an indelible stain."All English clubs were banned from European competitions for five years after the disaster, which alongside those who died saw 600 people injured when the wall collapsed on them.

The blame for Heysel was initially laid entirely on Liverpool fans, and 14 were later found guilty of manslaughter and jailed.An investigation did find some culpability lay with the Belgian authorities, and the crumbling state of Heysel Stadium.

Liverpool FC have sent a delegation to Turin for a memorial service, which the mayor welcomed.

Mr Rotheram said: "I think it's really important for the club and the people of our city to be represented at the memorial service.We also class as volunteers those who signed up to avoid criminal prosecution, which was allowed by law in 2024.

Volunteers have become the fastest-growing category of casualties in our calculations, making up a quarter of those we have identified.In 2023-2024, thousands of volunteers who signed contracts with the Ministry of Defence were sent to the front lines only 10–14 days later. Such minimal training will have dramatically reduced their chances of survival, experts say.

One Russian republic, Bashkortostan, has seen the highest numbers of casualties, with 4,836 confirmed deaths. Most were from rural areas and 38% had gone to fight with no military experience.The one-time payment for signing a Russian army contract in Ufa is 34 times the region's average salary of 67,575 rubles (£600).
