England Fan still critical after Russian Gang organise savage attacks on England fans .

England fans embroiled in violence in Marseille on Saturday night have said groups of Russian hooligans launched “savage coordinated attacks” around the city, disguised in English club shirts and equipped with gumshields and telescopic truncheons.

Roaming Russian fans approached the violence, which occurred before and after England’s opening Euro 2016 game in Marseille, with “military organisation”, fans said, as Uefa opened disciplinary proceedings against Russia’s football union.

Calling cards were posted on lampposts around the Old Port area of town, seemingly to guide the hooligans as to where to congregate before acts of violence that even seasoned travellers with England said were the worst they had experienced.


Russian hooligans hunt down England fans in sickening street battles in Marseille

Monday 13th June 2016


BY MARTIN FRICKER , ANDY LINES

A gang of 20 or so Russian fans all clad in black have been hunting down English supporters in horrifying scenes - with one man punched and kicked on the ground



Shocking scenes of violence have broken out again in Marseille as England and Russian fans have fought running battles in the streets.

A gang of 20 or so Russian fans all clad in black have been hunting the English in horrifying scenes - with one man filmed being punched and kicked on the ground as French police watched.

The Russian gang emerged from a side street and walked into main square.

They looked for English fans to fight but no-one would take them on. They then chased english everywhere.

One England fan was jumped by a gang of Russian hooligans after getting split up from his friends.

From that footage, it looks like the English hoolies want to chant and throw things, and the Russians actually want a proper scrap, but there's very few willing to oblige!
