The 'Lion of London Bridge' who was hailed a hero for fighting off knife-wielding jihadis during the terror attack said he is on an anti-terror watch list after being contacted by far-right anti-Islam supporters.
Roy Larner, 49, screamed, 'f*** you, I'm Millwall,' as he took on the knife murderers when they struck in June 2017 while he was enjoying a pint in the Black & Blue restaurant in Borough Market, in Southwark, south-east
London.
But Mr Larner has since been placed on the Government's Prevent programme over fears that he could become an extremist after he was contacted by far-right yobs.
He has had to attend de-radicalisation classes and police are monitoring him,
the Sun reported.
Mr Larner said: 'They treat me like a terrorist but I’m not political at all.
The 49-year-old required surgery after being slashed multiple times in the head and neck by Rachid Redouane and Yousseff Zaghba, who - along with third terrorist Khuram Butt - ended up killing eight and injuring 38 others.
He was released from hospital 12 days after the attack which left him with more than 80 stitches to his head, ear, arms and hands.
While in hospital, he was pictured propping himself up in bed with a 'learn to run' manual his friends had given him - which they said displayed 'our south-east London sense of humour'.
Mr Larner said one of the attackers had shouted, 'This is for Allah,' and 'Islam, Islam, Islam,' when they struck.
Even after being repeatedly stabbed and falling to the floor, CCTV footage showed Mr Larner raising his fists in defence.
The Millwall fan was a hailed a hero after the attacks, with some even calling for him to be George Cross, the highest civilian award for gallantry.
However, in July 2017, footage from February of that year emerged of him spitting on a black photographer and ranting about 'foreign c****s who 'stink like s***t'.
He escaped jail after being handed a suspended sentence and a £50 fine.
Later, in September 2018, he was charged after being found with the powerful and potentially deadly painkiller fentanyl - the drug linked to the death of popstar Prince.
