A football fan was left with shocking injuries after he was stabbed eight times by the London Bridge terrorists as he fought them off with his bare hands to allow fellow drinkers to escape. Brave Roy Larner launched himself at the trio on Saturday night who he said had run in to the Black & Blue restaurant and bar in Borough Market shouting, 'This is for Allah' and 'Islam, Islam, Islam'. As staff and customers panicked, the 47-year-old shouted, 'F**k you, I'm Millwall,' before trying to punch the attackers, who have been named as Khuram Butt, Rachid Redouane and Youssef Zaghba.

MILLWALL! MILLWALL! MILLWALL!
Je suis Millwall!
American Kasey Keller was Millwall’s goalkeeper for the first few years of his career. You should hear some the stories he tells about their fans!
Let’s just say this story isn’t that surprising (though certainly still heroic!).
“**ck you, Im Millwall!” - I like this guy- old school
Yep. I clicked the link and read the story.
If Great Britain had more men like this, they might have a chance....
“He told The Sun the three murderers started shouting Islamic chants, and 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.’
As he shouted the same message again, the attack got even more frenzied and Roy was forced to swing wildly at the terrorists who killed seven and put 48 people in hospital in their rampage.
He added: ‘I was on my own against all three of them, that’s why I got hurt so much.
‘It was just me, trying to grab them with my bare hands and hold on. I was swinging.
‘I got stabbed and sliced eight times. They got me in my head, chest and both hands. There was blood everywhere.’
Luckily, none of the blows he received hit him cleanly and he survived the ordeal gaining himself the nickname the Lion of London Bridge in a nod to the South-East London football club.
Good to know there are still a few of (them) around.
I hesitate to use the word "us" because while my intentions are clear, I have not been tested.
If there had been a few more men like this, they would have made short work of the terrorists.
He’s a hero. I always thought the soccer hooligans would lead the way in the street fight against Islam.
I don’t remember his name but I will never forget the Italian who, in the early days after 911, ripped the hood off and screamed, “This is how an Italian MAN dies!”
More like him are needed. Long past time to put an end to these punks. The government won’t act, so it is up to We the People. Lock and load.
Wow !
Britain has medals that can be given to civilians for valor.
This guy should get one of them! And that incredibly brave Australian nurse should get one too (posthumously in her case). And the Queen herself should present those medals.
This won’t happen, of course. No medals for valor will be awarded. However, some “celebrate diversity” certificates might be given out later.

We Don’t Care
We Are Millwall
Super Millwall
We are Millwall, from the Den!
Brave man, too bad the Brits are not allowed to have means to defend themselves. He shouldn’t have gotten hurt.
I agree. We are visiting London shortly and we’re going to get some Millwall gear to wear on our trip.
Just be careful around West Ham fans.
I’m proud of this hero but disappointed that he was the only real man around. The difference between him getting stabbed eight times to slow the thugs down and the United Airlines Flight 93 outcome (9-11, crashed into a PA field instead of into their target to kill more innocents) is the difference between acting alone and teamwork.
If I’m on the scene of a similar attack, I hope I’ll be the first to move toward the attackers . . . and that I’ll have help. It would be nice to either have friends with me or have the few seconds needed to coordinate with others. As for being armed, I’m in the People’s Republic of Maryland. If I’m following the law, I’ll have nothing better than a pocket knife. I might as well be in England.
