Those characters! How times have changed

You simply cannot buy life experience or natural inbuilt charisma. Racing media of today are just bluffing.

Love him or hate him, he was great at his job, racing is not the same without characters like him.

@TanyaStevenson1 Brilliant Tanya . Big Mac bashing the bookies was great tv

John McCrirrick greatly missed.

Legend. Channel 4 Racing was such good fun to watch.

John the Legend.

Days when it was interesting to watch when he involved all the people in racing. Hardly see a bookmakers board now with all the characters, only a brief glimpse at a rails board and that's it. At least Luke sometimes livens up a dull program, now and then.

Asks a child in tears if he's backed any winners 😂😂😂 What a man I miss him loads

Would have got dogs abuse had Twitter been around but had to be the biggest character racing has ever seen.

Used to love people heckling John in all great fun🙏 RIP
