A GANG of soccer hooligans laid siege to a Blackburn pub and caused more than £1,000 worth of damage.
The Stoke City supporters rained house bricks through the windows of the Brewers Arms, Great Bolton Street, while terrified drinkers dived for cover.
Landlady Mrs Margaret Rothwell, said: "It was terrifying. There were full bricks coming through the windows and glass flying everywhere."
