When people say that "they don't make them like that any more.." this is who they have in mind.

Seems like more women are being given jobs of sports and news presenters now than in the past.
John McCririck was one of the last of the line old type of male tv sport presenters.

He did make me laugh with his posturing and arms flailing everywhere and he spoke his mind.

I once saw him over walthamstow dogs doing his tic tac stuff and I'm amazed anyone understands whats being said!

Well that's one thing you've got in common with him, speaking your mind and not worrying whose reading.

Rather arrogant to think anyone is following you around and not just replying to comments, irrespective of the poster.

Do you understand why "more women are being given jobs of sports and news presenters than in the past"?

I didn't like his male chauvinist attitude. I did think it was funny when racegoers used to stand behind him pulling faces whilst he was talking to the cameras and he used to turn around and tell them off.

The good old days with him, Francome and others on the morning line. Channel 4 couldn’t allow that. Now just another load of PC crap.

Yeah, those were the days when women were treated like pieces of meat and the forrins were told where their place was in life.

The good old days.🙄

It was just a show with a group of men that talked like a group of men would talk in a pub. It wasn’t exactly the EDL. McCririck used to call his wife the booby. Shocking. If your life is one homogenous splodge of blah then I am glad you are happy but count me out.

He was a failed bookmaker and racing tipster, not both at the same time though.
