Roy Larner, who was cut in head, chest and hands, describes how he charged into terrorists in restaurant
A football fan has spoken of how he was stabbed eight times by the London Bridge attackers as he attempted to single-handedly fight off all three of them unarmed.
Roy Larner, 47, told reporters he shouted Fuck you, Im Millwall in an allusion to the clubs association with football violence as he charged into the attackers in the Black & Blue restaurant and bar in Borough Market.
The Peckham resident told the Sun he was knifed in the head, chest and both hands by the terrorists, now known to be Khuram Butt, Rachid Redouane and Youssef Zaghba.
Larner was taken to St Thomas Hospital for surgery, where he was later pictured recovering with a Learn to Run book placed on his chest. He was taken off the critical condition list on Sunday.
Like an idiot I shouted back at them. I thought, I need to take the piss out of these bastards. I took a few steps towards them and said, Fuck you, Im Millwall. So they started attacking me.
