Millwall Fan Becomes Hero at London Bridge Terror Attack

In the United Kingdom, Roy Larner became widely recognized as a hero following his brave actions during the London Bridge terror attack on June 3, 2017. At that time, Larner, a Millwall football club fan, defended patrons in a restaurant from terrorists, famously shouting a declaration of his football allegiance while confronting them. He sustained serious injuries during the attack, including multiple stab wounds, but his bravery potentially saved numerous lives. Despite his heroic actions, Larner's life has not been without difficulties, including a prior incident in which he was recorded making racist remarks. Following this, he issued an apology, stating that his offensive behavior was unintentional and stemmed from a heated confrontation with protestors prior to the terrorist attack. The story of his heroism is now set to be adapted into a film directed by Dougie Brimson, who aimed to highlight not only Larner's bravery but the challenges he faced in the years following his act of courage. The film, based on the book 'The Lion of London Bridge,' is expected to provide insight into both the tumultuous events of that night and Larner's subsequent struggles in contemporary society.
