‘F*** you, I’m Millwall’: Brave football fan takes on London attackers

Published time: 6 Jun, 2017 13:41

A brave football fan shouted “f*** you, I’m Millwall” as he gallantly attempted to fend off terrorists at a restaurant in London’s Borough Market during Saturday’s attack in the city that claimed the lives of seven people.

Millwall fan Roy Larner, 47, received horrific stab wounds while trying to fight off three knifemen as they burst into the Black & Blue restaurant intent on attacking revellers, earning him the nickname “The Lion of London Bridge” – a nod to his bravery and also the nickname of his club.

Larner, from Peckham, southeast London, is currently recuperating in St. Thomas's hospital intensive care unit in central London, where he recounted to British newspaper the Sun the moment the group smashed the doors of the eatery and began their horrific attack.

“They had these long knives and started shouting about Allah. Then it was, ‘Islam, Islam, Islam’,” Larner said.

“Like an idiot, I shouted back at them. I thought, ‘I need to take the p* out of these b******s’. I took a few steps towards them and said, ‘F* you, I’m Millwall’. So they started attacking me.
