There were calls for a Talksport presenter to be sacked after he branded Liverpool fans #murderers on the anniversary of the Heysel stadium disaster .

Last night Mike Graham tweeted an LFC fan who was responding to the Anfield Wrap by sharing their memories of hearing about the disaster as a child.

The Liverpool fan tweeted: -I can remember my mum sending us to bed, we just didn-t understand, people will hate me but, I was crying and ashamed to be a Liverpool fan.-

Graham, who is a night time presenter on the radio station, quoted that tweet and added: -Is that because Liverpool fans caused the deaths of those nice Italians. No wonder you-re so conflicted #Murderers.-

Mr Graham-s tweets appeared in the early hours of the 32nd anniversary of the European cup final between Liverpool and Juventus in which 39 people – mostly Juventus supporters – were killed, and hundreds left injured when a wall collapsed following violence between fans.

Continuing to bate LFC fans online last night, Mr Graham later quoted another tweet that said -#JFT39-, asking if there was a hashtag for those who died at Heysel.

Replying to the presenter-s first tweet, one Twitter user asked Talksport if their employee-s comments were acceptable to which Graham replied: -I would say so, yeah. What-s it got to do with you!? Are you offended on someone else-s behalf?-

People reacted angrily to the tweets by the 56-year-old, with one Liverpool fan tweeting: -I am not a murderer. None of the Liverpool fans I know are murderers. It-s that sweeping generalisation stupidity that causes unrest #idiot-

The Anfield Wrap asked Graham: -Any reason you decided to randomly have a pop at someone for discussing Heysel? Point scoring? Attention seeking?-

SouthernScouser also tweeted: -@talkSPORT you really going to let one of your employees speak about Liverpool fans like this? Absolutely unacceptable behaviour, sack him!-

Another asked Talksport: -Wow, that is such a disgusting comment! Is this acceptable @talkSPORT?-

Fourteen Liverpool fans were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the wake of the Heysel disaster.

Seven were given three year prison terms and the other seven suspended three-year sentences.

After five months in court a further 10 Reds supporters were found not guilty, two Belgian officials were found guilty of criminal negligence while UEFA was cleared - much to the anger of the grieving families.

UEFA banned English clubs from European football for five years, and Liverpool were banned for six years.

Liverpool FC today placed a floral tribute at the Heysel memorial plaque at Anfield as a mark of respect to those who lost their lives.

Last year presenter Colin Murray quit the station for its relationship with The S*n – saying his position had been made -unsustainable-.

Talksport has been contacted for a comment.
