King Baudouin Stadium

One of the outstanding sections of the book for me, and this comes back to when I was saying sports writing is not just about reporting on a match or doing the preview of a game.

Heysel Stadium, disaster followed by Hillsborough and the time that you spent in Liverpool after Hillsborough is actually really, really moving.

And to see the role of sport in people's lives at that time.

Talk to me a little bit about that.

Then in 1985, while Nicholas Frayling was still rector of Liverpool, There was scheduled to be a European Cup final between Liverpool and Juventus.

It was to take place in Belgium at the Heysel Stadium, whose name has become associated with one of the worst and most deadly disasters in football history.

In its aftermath, Nicolas Freyling travelled to Turin, the home of Juventus, and offered an apology to the people of Turin from the people of Liverpool.

The authorities in Turin were surprised by this apology and wondered why he was offering it as the terrible events were not his fault.

There's also downsides to that, and I'll get to that.

Anyway, Brussels Stadium is an open-air stadium.

It's okay.

It's all right.
