'PITY YOU'RE NOT A SPURS MAN'

Charles Bronson sends London Bridge jihadi-fighting ‘I’m Millwall’ legend Roy Larner a signed sketch – but has an ominous dig at his football team

THE hero footie fan who yelled, “F*** off, I’m Millwall” as he confronted the London Bridge terror attackers poses proudly with a bizarre sketch from notorious jailbird Charles Bronson.

Roy Larner suffered multiple stab wounds after fighting back against the trio hacking at innocent victims in last month’s atrocity.

His courage prompted armed robber Bronson, who has been behind bars for 41 years, to send him the gift.

And the lifelong Millwall supporter was pictured with it on a visit to his club’s home ground The Den on Saturday.

It shows a man’s head covered in insects.

On its front Bronson writes: "Your (sic) a legend Roy”.

The reverse features the words: “"Roy, Gotta tell you when Daz the Raz (a friend) told me you was a Millwall fan I smiled and thought I'm gonna do this geezer a special art.

"I pictured you steaming into the cockroaches shouting 'ave it slags, this is from Millwall firm - your (sic) a legend pal."

He signs off as Charles Salvador, adding 'alias Bronson'.

On another note he writes: "8 holes and still the Millwall geezer smiles. Your (sic) a f****** star!

“Pity your (sic) not a Spurs man...oh well, your (sic) a legend. Get well fast pal”.

Bronson, 64, has spent 37 in solitary confinement, after repeatedly having his sentence increased for attacking prison staff and taking them hostage.

Since taking up art Bronson now goes by the name of Charles Salvador, in a nod to his favourite artist Salvador Dali.

It comes after 47-year-old Roy recently returned to the scene of his heroics - to finish his beer.

Less than 24 hours after being released from hospital Roy, dubbed The Lion Of London Bridge, was back inside the Borough Market restaurant.

He said: “It’s nice to be back here enjoying a beer. The doctors said not to drink but I’m sticking to just two a day.

“It’s emotional to come back but I’m a strong person. I think it’s good for me to be back here again.

“I need to get things back to normal but it’s going to be hard.

“It’s good to see where I was that night and get my head round things. I can’t believe I got out alive.

“I walk my dogs round here so it might all just come back to me one day out of the blue and I’ll end up crying.

“But coming back here has helped and I realised how close I was.”
