BRISTOL CITY fans have given back a stolen Millwall team bus sign after more than 20 years in tribute to London Bridge terror attack hero Roy Larner.

The banner had been hanging at The Three Lions pub for over two decades, but has now been given back in honour of the Millwall fan who took on attackers with his bare hands.

Larner was hailed as the “Lion of London Bridge” for his antics – which have now prompted Bristol City fans to return a long-lost team bus sign.

The Three Lions pub shared an image of a replica banner, complete with wording, praising the Millwall fan’s heroic antics.

The new sign reads: “‘F*** you I’m Millwall.’

“Here is a replica of the Millwall team bus’ sign.

“After being stolen and proudly hanging above the doors of The Three Lions pub in Bristol for the last 20-plus years, the original has been handed back/presented in a gesture of solidarity, to London Bridge/Borough Market hero Roy Larner.

“The Millwall Lion bravely put his life in danger fighting off three Islamic terrorists with knives and (dummy) suicide belts on Saturday June 3rd 2017 whilst shouting these famous words.

"The older boys will know what this means. Top man from all Bristol City fans."

Larner, 47, was with pals in a pub during the London attack when they burst in, attacking revellers with 12in blades and chanting “Islam, Islam!” and “This is for Allah”.

Roy was knifed eight times before the jihadis fled the Black & Blue restaurant and bar.

He fearlessly shouted back and fought them single-handedly — saving countless lives as he gave staff and other drinkers time to escape.
