The Forgotten Story of ... the English Super Cup | Jacob Steinberg
After English clubs were banned from Europe in 1985, the Football League created a consolation
competition for them Have you heard the one about the English Super League featuring Liverpool and
Manchester United?
Over the long weekend I was luckily enough to see an advanced copy of the new movie 'One Night
In Turin" which chronicles England's 1990 World Cup run where they lost to West Germany on
penalties in the semi-finals.
Watching the movie I was struck by the similarities between England's 1990 World Cup run and the
2010 effort.
Today marks the 26th anniversary of the Heysel disaster, a dark day in Liverpool's history and a
tragic one for 39 football fans. My thoughts go out to the victims families and to Juventus. You
will never walk alone. May they rest in peace. Rocco Acerra (29)Bruno Balli (50)Alfons BosGiancarlo

Kenny Dalglish waited 9,394 days to get the chance to manage Liverpool in Europe but after a turgid
Europa League goalless draw against Sparta Prague he must have wondered why he looked forward to it
so much.
The 59-year-old missed out on continental competition in his first spell as Reds boss because of
the ban on English clubs after the Heysel disaster.
