The 47-year-old football fan has become a symbol of the capitalโ€™s defiance since it emerged he shouted โ€˜f*** you, Iโ€™m Millwallโ€™ at the terrorists.

Speaking to presenters Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid about the night of terror, Roy said: โ€˜How lucky I am to be here and talk to you, I donโ€™t know.โ€™

He also showed off the horrific injuries he suffered while fighting the three jihadis at once โ€“ including a huge wound on his neck and the back of his head.

โ€˜The other two were going towards the restaurant, so as I was maybe doing so well on one bloke, the other two have come back and helped him, and Iโ€™ve had three of them around me.โ€™

Roy said the other two men were advancing on a restaurant, where families and children were inside, but turned back in an attempt to kill him.

His actions on the night were described as โ€˜an act of extraordinary heroismโ€™ by co-host Morgan.

Roy added: โ€˜Maybe next time I might do something different, maybe not. Itโ€™s an instant reaction and adrenaline runs into you.โ€™

Khuram Butt, Rachid Redouane and Youssef Zaghba drove a van into pedestrians on London Bridge before stabbing innocent people in Borough Market.

All three men were killed at the scene by police.
