Grim Up North 3,765 Posted October 8, 2018 On Loose Women today Whole interview with him was conducted with the banner underneath him reading John McCririck: 'I'm Not Dying' I took a photo of TV screen on my phone hence rubbish quality. Methinks he doth protest too much. (Still had same ridiculous hat and jacket on too). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,673 Posted October 8, 2018 He's 78 and "recovering slowly" which could mean his immune system is ripe for another battering if someone sneezes over him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,222 Posted October 8, 2018 He looks like shit, like he did before without the 'Flu diet' he has been on.... His face looks awfully long now and I cannot help but think that, with some fettling of his attire, he would be the spit of Postman Pat. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,209 Posted October 27, 2018 "McCririck, 78, was the face of British horseracing for as long as anyone can remember." Cheers, that makes me feel ancient. I remember watching racing on TV for years before McCririck showed up. There used to be Julian Wilson on BBC, and ITV had John Rickman, a genial old boy who always wore a trilby hat, which he courteously used to raise when signing off at the end of the programme. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's the betting he's going to appear on the 2019 list? Guaranteed to be on next year's list... if he even makes it that long The weight loss he has shown is typical of people with cancer, as well as some other illnesses Plus he's a British media personality, which is exactly the kind of person the Deathlist committee loves to include 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_engineer 1,415 Posted January 5, 2019 I feel with John he is suffering from terminal cancer but isn't saying.Am I the only on who thinks that?He seems like the type to keep it quiet. It's a bit of a punt for everyone that chose him but I believe my eyes rather than what he is telling everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torva Messor 281 Posted January 5, 2019 I was reminded of Robin Gibb when I saw McCririck. I thought there'd be a decent chance of him being a hit on my Hare DP list. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
