Brewery Creates ‘F*** You, I’m Millwall’ Beer In Honor Of ......
Man Who Took On London Bridge Attackers
Roy Larner drinks for free.
Quote:A Swedish brewery has launched a beer called ‘F*** you, I’m Millwall,’ named after the words used by a victim of the London Bridge terror attack as he fought back against the assailants.
Roy Larner, 47, was at the Black & Blue restaurant and bar in Borough when the three terrorists entered the premises.
Describing the incident to the Sun from his hospital bed, Mr Larner said: “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.”
In a statement on their website Frequency Beer Works said: “We were humbled and impressed to read about Millwall supporter Roy Larner, who single-handedly stepped in against the terrorists in London, shouting ‘F*** you, I’m Millwall!’, saving countless lives by drawing the attention of the attackers, giving others the possibility to run to safety.
“We salute him, and have made a special edition of our bitter available in his honour. A portion of the proceedings will be donated to the fund started in his name.”

Agree. Would host a pint in Roy's honor. A real man.

Said this in the original thread about "I'm Millwall". Bully to this guy, but geeez it irks me(?), scares me(?), surprises me (?), that everyone else cut the **** and run from the guy. He's standing alone, protecting these people and getting slaughtered on the floor of the bar, and they head to a basement?
The next brew for this place outta be "Cowards Skinny Pants Pasty Pale Ale, and they can call it Zima for short. Maybe that's too wordy for a 9 oz bottle.
Sickens me.

I guess you never know until you are put in that position, but I would like to think I would grab a damn chair or something and give those Islamists the best I had to give.Especially if I had loved ones there in danger. Like Roy said, I thought, ‘I need to take the p— out of these b——s’.” I know that is easy to say sitting here in a safe home on my laptop, but I hope I wouldn't run.
