Green Street creator to make film about Millwall fan who took on London Bridge terrorists

Roy Larner, the Millwall football club fan who made headlines in 2017 after yelling at terrorists during the 3 June London Bridge attack is set to have a film made about him by the creator of Green Street.

According to The Sun, Brimson has optioned the rights to film the book on Larner’s life, appropriately called The Lion of London Bridge, with actor Leo Gregory, who starred in Green Street, set to play him.

Now Dougie Brimson, the screenwriter behind the 2005 football hooligan film Green Street, starring Elijah Wood and Charlie Hunnam, is bringing Larner’s story to the big screen.
