Winston Biscuit really interesting It Was What It Was podcast this morning which is on the 84/85 season and the violence going on at games. Lots of incidents I didn't know about, as behaviour at matches really deteriorated. The end of season includes the Bradford fire and Heysal.
That season also had Birmingham vs Leeds, same day, lad on his first game gets killed as a wall gave way and horses on the pitch, and, in a FA cup replay iirc, the fighting on the pitch riot of Luton vs Millwall.

Today is 100 years to the day that the modern offside law was brought in!
Ive mentioned it before on here as its one of my favourite english football history moments. changing it from 3 oppo players needed fo to be onside, to 2, and heralding a number of seasons of chaotic defences and record breaking seasons of goals, with Dixie Dean one of the biggest beneficiaries.
Good episode today from the It Was What It Was podcast
