	CNNSI.com - World Soccer - England, FIFA shaped soccer century - Thursday December 30, 1999 05:59 PM
		The most infamous examples are the Heysel Stadium disaster of 1985 which claimed 39, mostly Italian, lives before the European Cup Final in Brussels, and the 1989 Hillsborough disaster when 96 Liverpool fans perished in overcrowded terracing at an FA Cup semifinal.

		Soccer has been blighted by hooliganism since the 1960s and drunken loutish fans, and some arrogant and insensitive policing have brought death to many countries where the game is played.
