English football fans return to the streets of Marseille - but blame the POLICE for last night's violence

England fans have blamed the heavy-handed tactics of the police for fuelling violence in Marseille last night - when supporters clashed with local football hooligans. Clashes erupted shortly after midnight in the French city's Old Port area where hundreds of travelling supporters had spent Thursday drinking. Huge flags of St George bearing club logos were strung up outside the English-themed Queen Victoria pub where the rioting had broken out the night before. However supporters tried to pass on responsibility for the unsavoury scenes - almost 20 years since the 'Battle of Marseille', where England fans fought with Tunisia supporters during the 1998 World Cup match in the city.
