Roy Larner was enjoying a few beers in Borough Market when the three London Bridge terrorists burst into the pub, brandishing huge knives.

The twisted jihadis then started chanting “Islam, Islam”, and looked for defenceless revellers to attack.

But Roy stood his ground and launched himself at the group, saving the lives of others who managed to escape.

He told the Sun: “They had these long knives and started shouting about Allah. Then it was, ‘Islam, Islam, Islam’.

“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.”
