SUNDAY 12 JUNE 2016

Marseille resembled a war zone on Saturday night after Russian and English football hooligans clashed in running battles before and after the match that left one supporter fighting for his life.

As fresh waves of violence flared near the Stade Velodrome, police confirmed the worst hit victim was a 51-year-old England supporter.


The English fan suffered ‘horrific’ head injuries amid claims that Russian ‘ultras’, armed with knives and metal poles, had ambushed rival fans.

Following the violence UEFA, football's governing body in Europe confirmed it would be opening disciplinary proceedings.

Bars in the Vieux Port area of Marseille, the scene of much of the fighting between fans and riot police, were shut after the match in an attempt to resume order.

The match itself, which ended in a 1-1 draw, provided a brief respite from the mayhem which had enveloped the city over the past few days.

But clashes resumed as the game entered its final stages. Fighting continued after the final whistle with Russian fans ripping down English flags and chasing their rivals across rows of seats.

Large numbers of Russia supporters, some wearing balaclavas, went on the rampage at the Stade Vélodrome, over a section of meshing and through a line of stewards on the virage sud, a stand nominally segregated between opposing fans, after the game had ended at 1-1. They grabbed flags as they stampeded, with projectiles thrown from both sides, forcing England fans to clamber over fencing and walls to escape.

An England supporter in a wheelchair was seen being beaten up.

Shocking if true!

Euro 2016: Marseille clashes leave Britons in hospital


BBC

"A lot of the English fans tried to run away"


A number of British people are in hospital in France, the UK's ambassador has said following a series of clashes between football fans in Marseille.

Violence has broken out between England fans, rival supporters and police for three days in the French port city.

There were also clashes in the stadium following England's 1-1 Euro 2016 draw with Russia, after Russia fans appeared to rush at England supporters.

French police said one Briton had been seriously hurt in the earlier clashes.

Witnesses said trouble began in the stadium after flares were let off by Russian fans near the end of the game. Some fans had then climbed across barriers designed to keep rival fans apart.
An England supporter, who was in the stadium, told the BBC: "As soon as the Russian goal went in, the Russian guys, sort of, streamed across.
"The segregation wasn't too great. So it seemed pretty easy for the guys to steam across. It seemed to just sort of separate."
And another fan said: "There were some Russian fans who got same flares in. They were lighting them, there was a loud bang, and then you saw the line of Russian fans... just charging across at the England fans.
"I saw a flare going into the England section or mixed the section. But all England fans just ran across, and as soon as the fans started running everyone ran."

BBC sports editor Dan Roan said England fans began jumping over the perimeter fence in panic.
"Big questions for Uefa here," he tweeted. "Stampede appears to have been triggered by explosion. How did such a device make it inside and where was segregation?"

Russian media praising the bravery of their fans, claiming they were attacked by English Fans and fought back ffs

The difference between the Russians and English is the Russians is set up in sort of militia style groups when the English are spread out . I think it would be a different story if the English set up to fight

I cant believe England fans shit it in the stadium. Looking at the videos and photos not many Russians charged and there were plenty of englishmen in that end to defend themselves.

Don't stick up for England they no angels themselves they are reason why football hooliganism spread across Europe in the first place

Not condoning any aggro but it's so ironic. The police banned all of England's nutters from travelling, so Russia had easy pickings.....normal fans, women and kids!!
If the thugs had travelled they might not have been so keen to attack them.
