Millwall fan dubbed ‘The Lion of London Bridge’ writes book on how he fought armed jihadis in 2017 attack

A MILLWALL fan dubbed “The Lion of London Bridge” has written a book on how he took on armed jihadis.

Roy Larner, 52, was stabbed seven times by three terrorists who killed eight and injured 48 on London Bridge and in Borough Market.

He roared: “F*** you, I’m Millwall” as he fought the Islamic killers in a restaurant in June, 2017.

Roy said: “I almost lost my life but it was worth it.

“My fighting them off gave people a lot of time to get out.”

Lion of London Bridge is £11.99 on Amazon.

Roy said yesterday: “Writing my book has been therapeutic and actually helped me get over and process what happened.

“I have needed counselling and it has been so hard for me. I’ve not been able to work since what happened due to my injuries - mentally and physically.

“I still need physio to help move the tendons in my arm. That moment I stood up to the terrorists has defined my life.

“I hope people enjoy reading my story of what happened.”

Jihadis Khuram Shazad Butt, 27, Rachid Redoune, 30, and 22-year-old Youssef Zaghba ploughed a van into pedestrians on London Bridge, before attacking drinkers in Borough Market on June 3 2017.
