Ashley Posted 5 November 2007 Posted 5 November 2007 I've just found this. I dont know if its been posted before if it has please delete mods The Hillsborough disaster did not only touch clubs in England but the disaster was known worldwide and touched clubs around the world. On 19th April 1989 (the following Wednesday of the disaster), a European Cup semi final between AC Milan and Real Madrid was played. The referee blew his whistle 6 minutes into the game to stop play and hold a minute's silence for those who lost their lives tragically at Hillsborough. About 20 seconds into the silence the Milan fans on the Curva Sud began to sing Liverpool's anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone" as a tribute to those who died. This is a gesture that Liverpool fans will never forget and there is great respect between Liverpool and AC Milan since that night.

Fat Ron Posted 7 November 2007 Posted 7 November 2007 Football Support at its best. This is why we all love the game so much
purpleronnie Posted 7 November 2007 Posted 7 November 2007 I hate to but a dampner on this but the fact that Milan hate Juventus was one of the reasons milan like Liverpool. Go to Turin and see how many fans liverpool have.

Go to Turin and see how many fans liverpool have. I've been and it's not many. It's not just Milan that hate Juve, everyone in Italy hates Juve if they don't support them.
Ultra Posted 7 November 2007 Posted 7 November 2007 With good reason. Juve's corruption and "influence" on referees is legendary in Italy. Only in recent times (ie last year) have the powers-that-be started to act against them.
