It was actually Phil Neal mate. I doubt even huge hooter Tommo would've stooped that low.

And here's the interview. It was a retrospective of the disaster from all angles by Jamie Jackson. Good on him for quoting it in full.

Phil Neal
Then:
Liverpool captain, 34
Now: Merseyside Radio commentator

I'd rather forget that night. It was an ordeal. But, Jamie, why should I help you out? I'm helping you pay your mortgage [by talking to you about Heysel]. When people ask me for my view, they usually have to pay for it. You're asking for my help for nothing. To pay your mortgage, Jamie. I mean, what do you want from me?

I just thought that as the captain of Liverpool football club on that night at Heysel it would be good to hear your view?

Yes but what do you want from me? If I talk to you for a few minutes, then I'm helping you pay your mortgage and what am I getting in return? Do you know what I mean?

Well, I have been to Italy and talked with some of the families of the victims and they say that the trophy should be given back by Juventus to commemorate what happened.

About Juventus? Why are you asking me? Why are you asking someone on the Liverpool side? Juventus made amends very soon. Ask them ... Jamie I'm helping you pay your mortgage. People who want my views pay.

I'm sorry, but everyone else I have spoken to has ...

Great. So you've spoken to people, you've got your views. You've got your Liverpool view, but if you want mine for free, well people pay for them.
 


Only 9 months after they killed 39 people they thought it was OK to to throw an ammonia canister at the United players and groups of children, utter scum.

After the game the then Liverpool chief executive, Peter Robinson, blamed Norman Whiteside for the incident, claiming his pre-game comments of 'refusing to be intimidated by Anfield's hostile atmosphere' had not helped the situation. It's in the book 'Two Tribes'.
