From the mid-70's to the mid-80's, European club football was dominated teams from Germany and England. This changed in 1985 with the Heysel Disaster that left 39 people dead. As a result, English teams were banned from Europe which saw a surge in clubs from La Liga, Serie A, the Eredivisie and Ligue 1. Teams from these leagues dominated the European Cup for the next decade. The game experienced a decline in England - the rise of hooliganism was partially to blame. Thanks to this, spiked perimeter fences and CCTV were introduced to curtail the violence. This just made things worse when the Hillsborough Disaster occurred in 1989 with 96 deaths. English football had reached it's low point, and could only go up from here. Thankfully, it did.
