Memories and eyewitness accounts of the Heysel stadium disaster which killed 39 people.

In a special edition of World Football Alan Green travels to Brussels exactly thirty years after the Heysel Stadium disaster which killed 39 people. We hear eyewitness accounts from the players Marco Tardelli and Alan Kennedy, the fans, pitch-side photographer Eamonn McCabe and former UEFA President Lennart Johansson as we remember the Ghosts of Heysel.
