Loved the old Ch4 racing team of John mcCririck, John francome, Lord Oaksey, Brough Scott, Jim McGrath and Derek Thompson..... they informed, had a giggle, and entertained.....great times
Loved you John Mccririck 💖 you were hilarious, and so good at your job. You were hilarious with Jackie Stallone in Celebrity Big brother. Wish you were still with us. R.I.P John ❤💐🐎
Yes but J Weaver knows his stuff. Only jockey to ride over 200 winners in a season and not be champion jockey. Frankie beat him that year and is still as good as ever imo.
The only man I ever saw with the jewels to challenge Ruby Walsh on live TV. His type are a dying breed and the world is becoming a worse place because of it. RIP John. Long live freedom of speech.
Morph 1981 I agree. Love him or loath him , he is fascinating. PC Britain has spoiled good tv and unfortunately it's here to stay. Take me back to the 80's & 90's.
He would've made a fantastic classroom teacher sorting out all the mischievous boys and girls! He would've chucked the blackboard eraser across the room at them lol.
John was such a larger than life character who made horse racing absolutely fun, and it’s not the same without his hilarious (if sometimes controversial) anecdotes. RIP
He was a character they seem to chase off characters from the main channels in England on tv thesedays. He was entertaining as was Brian Clough characters. People are desperate for bland middle of the road pc Alan Titchmarsh or Gary Lineker types.
I loved Channel 4 racing every saturday with the morning line then the afternoon racing was only 4 but i was hooked still am to this day they need mcririck on ITV Racing
It's such a shame people of the calibre of John McCririck, John Francombe, Fat Al, Derek Thompson and the female aren't on anymore. I used to get out of bed early Saturday morning for the entertainment. I never get up for the new crowd because they're boring as fuck. The only one I enjoy is Chapman. You don't appreciate what you have until it's gone. Thanks John and your racing family for giving me many years of fantastic entertainment.
He was so funny and totally unique, I really do miss him on the racing. Its a much duller experience without him . May he Rest in Piece
* Peace

John Francome was the reason I opened a betting account 20 years ago he was always tipping winners 30 secs b4 the off lol 😂😂😂
Totally agree. No way Big Mac would get on the telly nowadays. Which tells you everything you need to know about modern telly. Bland, boring, beige.
I'm dying of laughter. He's hilarious
Oh snap!
Still laughing? 😂
There's no characters on television anymore and Mccririck is certainly one of them.
Thank you David Coleman
RIP Mac. You may have had some old fashioned views but you made losing money on a Saturday afternoon bearable!
His is a gent and very intelligent and rest in peace John McCririck.
Loved you John Mccririck 💖 you were hilarious, and so good at your job. You were hilarious with Jackie Stallone in Celebrity Big brother. Wish you were still with us.
R.I.P John ❤💐🐎
He was a legend.. always comedy gold.. but he loved the game and we will miss him
I miss john and saturday afternoon racing. ITS CRAP NOW.
Your right..
Me too
He'd be cancelled now, ohhhhh he's offensive.
Yes but J Weaver knows his stuff. Only jockey to ride over 200 winners in a season and not be champion jockey. Frankie beat him that year and is still as good as ever imo.
"You're 55, look at you!"
LMAO!
"BEHAVE YOURSELF!"

I love watching big john again after all this time, it's like he never went away. RIP BIG JOHN 🙏❤️🇬🇧🤣😅 Apr twenty three
When channel 4 racing was class
RIP John McCririck
Being Irish 🇮🇪 and not liking horse racing I know is sacrilege,but John was entertaining,RIP
What a legend, the clobber on him was top class
John McCririck is a quietly spoken bloke when he is in private. There will never be another horse racing commentor like him.
What a guy. Never forgotten big mac
Absolute legend. Tv is shite now all these characters are gone in pc Britain.

@@strawberrybounce5026 everything to do with pc.
Memories of waking up on a Saturday morning with a huge hangover, large fry up and endless cups of coffee watching The Morning Line..
Rip big Mac what a character you will be missed by us racing fans 🏇🏼☹️
Even when he told people off it was in a polite and humoured way RIP John
British TV needs more classic people like John McKirik and Richard Madeley - always entertainment.
He will be missed. Wonderful personality in/for racing. In fact he was a big reason I loved watching C4 racing, and racing in general.
He plays up to it all the time. The fools are those who get their knickers in a twist about him.
+SepticSceptic He was a card and people like to play cards
SepticSceptic he was a cock and people like to play cocks.
RIP JM u was the only reason I watched race on Channel 4
RIP Big Mac, loved watching you at the races.
A spades a spade with John, he's 100% genuine.
He would've made a fantastic classroom teacher sorting out all the mischievous boys and girls! He would've chucked the blackboard eraser across the room at them lol.
I don't think so, he was too much fun to wind up. The ones who are good at classroom discipline tend to be both strict and boring.
RIP Big Mac, legend
John was such a larger than life character who made horse racing absolutely fun, and it’s not the same without his hilarious (if sometimes controversial) anecdotes. RIP
We need more people like him!
RIP pimp
We love you John,rip.
Please come back.
x.
john is a 90s legend
lol. 1:40
"What is wrong with you, Grow up!,. how old are you?, you're 55..and look at you!!"
That so Alan Partridge!.
*G R O W U P*
*B E H A V E Y O U R S E L F*
Gonna miss this man, the things he comes out with, you just can;'t stay mad at him.
'Behave yourself!'
GROW UP!!
Great character and racing misses him, RIP John
John McCririck made Channel 4 Racing worth watching, RIP Big Mac.
What a legend. RIP
Brilliant intelligent individual how I miss Big Mac RIP the greatest entertainer of the betting jungle
There was one time I remember a guy standing next to him holding up a shirt saying “Same shit different day”
RIP the big man!
I agree what a legend he is! He's so funny and I love his fashion sense.
The world is a poorer place without him RIP big mac
I miss John mcririck ❤
same
is it just me whos waiting for steve coogan to rip off a fat suit?
Fantastic😁 a true character and a marmite kind of guy !
RIP Mac 👍
Who else wishes Chapman would run about calling people toe rags n insulting people then apologising 🤣🤣🤣
He was a character they seem to chase off characters from the main channels in England on tv thesedays.
He was entertaining as was Brian Clough characters.
People are desperate for bland middle of the road pc Alan Titchmarsh or Gary Lineker types.
A legend calling the odds upstairs now.
Those who sacked him from horse racing were foolish - he made you want to watch it simply to see him.
The horse mask acting scared when he turned round is absolute gold
Rofl 'Behave yourself'
I love JM hes a fuking riot. lol
what a legend love watching him so funny
"Your 55 and look at you!!!" hahaha
I loved Channel 4 racing every saturday with the morning line then the afternoon racing was only 4 but i was hooked still am to this day they need mcririck on ITV Racing
what a legend!
He was a man the punters loved. Hate the way everything has gone all PC and virtue signalling. I rarely watch racing now because if it
I liked you. R.I.P. John.
I never thought I would say this, but I actually miss him on C4 racing, sorry Emma, Tanya et al, but it ain't the same !!
that is all I ever seem to see him doing! yelling and going mental but love him none the less
What a character he was, racing has lost an absolute original, R.I.P. John
Teach your children to behave!!🤣
"What is wrong with you? How old are you?! You're fifty-five and look at you!" Lmao
Ohh what a great day out that would have been at the races with a load of mates all dressed like JM and seeing him there.Brilliant!!

Backed down when he swore at that bloke and he talked back.
Legend, RIP, hic!
you hate him and love him such a legend.
Wasn’t his biggest fan but an absolute one off to be fair and by the sounds of it he sounded like he was a top bloke off the camera! RIP Big Mac
John Is a LEGEND ! :) God Bless you Sir
Great man , great hat
McCririck lit a fuse up the so dull presenters of any program he was on.
When you're washing your windscreens at the traffic lights do i interrupt you
....his antics were one of the highlights of channel 4 racing.....a one off......the real tossers are standing behind............
RIP john
the man the myth the legend
He was great
RIP Big Mac Never be same again on Saturday afternoon
Was just a young kid at the time watching but his voice brings back memories
Back in the old days of television when it was exciting and a laugh and now we are stuck with boring rubbish
true mate
The pie in the face was over the top to be fair
" BEHAVE YOURSELF YOU FOOL !! "
Legend
He was hilarious on Celeb Big Brother arguing with Jackie Stallone!!
Rest in peace..
Absolutely HILARIOUS, love this man. Probably totally wrong of me, but he makes me laugh a lot.
this made horse racing FUN 😂
Still miss you on the TV Big John! 📺
John Mccririck is a savage and I love it.
Legend and a pure character that the world are trying to kill off with pc bullshit.
2 years later, can you believe how far it continues to go? Depressing.
First time I ever saw this guy was when Marco Pierre White kicked John out of his restaurant on Hells Kitchen UK .
RIP what a character
Good times! The state if itv coverage is nowadays is embarrassing!
A huge loss for racing when this character was removed from the game by the snowflakes of today.
Great days 🐎
