 BBC News | Hooligans | Euro 96 - the model football tournament
Prior to Euro 96, England's last major international football tournament was the World Cup of 1966, and the intervening 30 years had witnessed the ugly rise of yob culture and football thuggery.
In the event, Euro 96 was about as successful as a soccer tournament could be.
Despite this incident, Euro 96 is widely considered to be a model football tournament and many of the policing practices established then can be found in security arrangements for this summer's World Cup in France, said Mr George.

 Germans humbled by Romania, Czechs bounced by Japan - Apr. 29, 2004   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
PARIS -- Germany suffered a hammerblow to their confidence ahead of Euro 2004 on Wednesday as the 2002 World Cup finalists were thrashed 5-1 by a young and inexperienced Romania in the latest set of warm-up matches.
The Czech Republic, the side Germany beat on a golden goal in Euro 96 to take the title, also suffered a huge blow as they were beaten 1-0 by Japan in Prague, their second successive defeat, but a much needed boost to Japan's hopes of retaining their Asian Cup title later this year.
There was disappointment too for the coach who masterminded their Euro 96 defeat as Berti Vogts saw his Scotland side succumb to their fourth successive defeat, 1-0 to Euro 2004 bound Denmark, who have a habit of besting him as they beat his German team in the Euro 92 final.

 The Scotsman - Top Stories - Euro ’96 director urges executive to back Scots bid for championship   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Glen Kirton, the Euro ’96 Tournament Director, urged the Scottish executive to support the scheme and warned failure to do so would deny Scotland the possibility of hosting "a wonderful national and international event".
Writing in The Scotsman today, Mr Kirton, who organised and supervised every part of England’s successful bid and the subsequent championships, said the required investment of £70 million from the executive was "a small amount" when compared to the potential benefits.
Euro 2008 would give to Scotland a boost that would stimulate greater interest for years to come in the country, its beautiful landscape, the leisure opportunities it offers and, not least, in its world-class football grounds."

Consolidated net income was boosted by 8.3% as at 30 June 2005 to 229.0 million euro (211.5 million euro), equivalent to earnings of 1.90 euro (1.75 euro) a share.
As part of this transaction the existing holders of a 350 million euro bond issued in 2001 were able to exchange into the new issue, an opportunity which more than 60% of them took up.
Net investment income thus came in 5.2% lower than in the previous year at 537.4 million euro (567.0 million euro); it nevertheless remains within the planning parameters for the full financial year, especially with respect to the portfolio of assets under own management.
