Godfather Of Champions

It was the darkest moment in English football. It was a moment that countless Liverpool fans have unforgettable. All the influence that happened on that day has continued to the present and even beyond. The once powerful Liverpool team has since fallen, hovering on the edge of pain and confusion, and can't find a way home long ago...

Because of this incident, all stadiums in the UK changed their standing seats to seats, removed the fences to prevent football hooligans from conflicts, and improved the security measures in all aspects of the stadium. When the current fans sit on the refurbished stadium stands with plastic seats and watch the game, they all know in their hearts that this is the result of the 96 lives.

The clock freezes at 3:05 pm on April 15, 1989, the time of the Hesburgh tragedy.

"...More and more people are pouring in from the gate passage... We see the Liverpool fans in the stands next door being crowded, but there are others coming up. I... They are next to me. In the stands, a child was squeezed in front of me and he asked for help...but I...but I was scared, I had never seen such a tragic sight..." Michael's voice began to tremble , "I don't know how to help him, his face was squeezed red, blood leaking from his nose..."

Michael couldn't go on. He lay on the table with his head in his hands, his heavy gasps echoing in the empty bar.

It took a long time for Michael's voice to reverberate: "I have never faced death so close. Countless people fell in front of me. They wailed, cried, groaned... I just stood there stupidly. The boy asking for help was lying there. At my feet, he didn't cry or make trouble... Later I learned that the kid was only ten years old and he followed his neighbor to watch the football..."

"This incident suddenly made me understand how stupid I had been in the past ten years. John and I thought they were full and smart, and thought that the bleeding was a reward for us. When we fought, we shouted: 'Either you die, or I die'... But when the real death appeared in front of us, everyone was stupid and trembling with fear. Later, when we helped to go out, I saw one and me Now this big man was caught by two policemen and dragged back. He struggled desperately and shouted: "Let go of me, my two daughters are inside! I am not a football hooligan." At that moment, I did it for myself. Shame on the things. Tony, do you know what caused all of that?"

Dunn replied in a questioning tone: "Too many people?"

"No, it was us. We were the one who caused the tragedy." Michael poked his chest and said. "We never verbally admit that we are a'football hooligan', but we know that we are. At that time, any team would have a fan club like us. The media called us'soccer hooligan', and others did. We are called "football hooligans." In order to prevent people like us from rushing into the stadium and making trouble, almost all stadiums at that time installed the eight-foot-high barbed wire between the stands... If the Hesburgh Stadium did not have these fences, the fans would Can easily run to the court to escape-although this will interrupt the game, but compared with 96 lives, what is a game? In fact, some fans tried to escape over the fence, but they were nervous The police thought it was a football hooligan and rushed back to the crowded stands!"

"After that game, John, Bill and I quit the club. Mark Hodge desperately tried to dissuade me, but I made up my mind. Hodge thought we had betrayed them, so he broke off with us. But I don’t care, Huo. Qi thinks that we are cowards, and only people like him are warriors, who are the fans who love and loyal to the team the most. That is his idea. I just want to leave the life that I don’t know when I will be beaten to death... …Later I got married, and a year later I got Gavin. Every home game day I go to the City Stadium to watch football, and I come here to drink and chat in my spare time. I like this life very much."

"Then why not continue?" Tang En persuaded.

"Because this kind of life is far away from me. I like football, and I like it so much. But what does it bring to me in the end when I like football so much? I lost my favorite son!" Michael clenched the water glass hard, palms Rubbing against the glass made a creaking sound. "Fiona has always disliked me going to the stadium to watch football. She was even more strongly opposed to me taking Gavin... but I was stubborn and even quarreled with her about it. Tony...I like football and support football. But it made me lose my only child. If I continue to stick to my own opinions, I will lose my wife, my family..."

Dunn looked at this heartbroken man, he had no reason to persuade him to return to the stadium stands.

The founder of the Liverpool dynasty and the most coach in club history, Bill Shankly, once said this:

"Someone said to me that football is about life and death. To be honest, I deeply regret that. What I want to say is... football is higher than life and death."

But now, can it be said that "football is higher than life and death"? After the Hesburgh tragedy, the Liverpool people doubted Shankly's famous saying and football philosophy, and now Dunn is thinking about the same problem.

Michael stood up and said to Dunn: "So I'm sorry, Tony...I can't go to your game anymore. Now you don't have to worry that if you can't play in the Super League, I will beat you. Goodbye, I should go. Yes. Good luck, Tony."

Dunn did not keep him, watching Michael disappear at the entrance of the bar, he murmured: "I'm worried about you beating me? A joke, you can't beat me at all, Michael... But I really hope you can beat me once, I Guarantee not to fight back..."
