'About 400 frustrated football fans rampaged in south London, throwing things at police and injuring two officers after England lost to France in their first match at the Euro 2004 championship in Portugal on Sunday.
Police said on Monday serious trouble erupted in Croydon near London shortly after the final whistle, while there were other smaller disturbances across the capital as stunned fans, whose team had been ahead til the last moments, vented their frustration on police.
"I deplore the level of violence that we have seen in Croydon tonight," Superintendent Nick Jupp said in a statement.
Police said 14 people were arrested following the hour-long disturbance there, which saw police vehicles and a tram damaged, and two officers needing hospital treatment for minor injuries.'
From The Sun:
BOOZE-FUELLED thugs went on the rampage in several British towns and cities last night after England’s defeat by France.
Hundreds clashed with cops in BOSTON, Lincs, after the match. Police said up to 600 fans gathered in a "major disturbance" in the town’s market place. Around 200 cops were sent to contain the mob.
Some parked cars in the town centre were set on fire by angry fans.
A police spokesman said: "Extra officers have been drafted in to contain the disorder."
In BIRMINGHAM, a giant TV screen was smashed in Centenary Square by mindless morons hurling bottles and even shoes. A witness said: "They just went wild. There were loads of kids at the front. They were terrified. The yobs turned on two policemen. I saw one disappear under about 20 trampling youths."
Rampaging fans threw tables and chairs at each other and smashed car windows in LIVERPOOL.
Matthew Richards, a 25-year-old office worker from Birkenhead, said: "After Zidane scored again, everything really kicked off. I saw three lads in England shirts push one bloke over before stamping on his head."
Hertfordshire police reported disturbances in WATFORD and STEVENAGE. Trouble also broke out in WAKEFIELD, West Yorks, and BROMLEY, Kent. In contrast, the mood in Lisbon was sombre but respectful. At midnight a few hundred fans sat beside fountains hanging their heads.
