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

"How old are you? You're 55 and look at you"

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

His is a gent and very intelligent and rest in peace John McCririck.

RIP Mac. You may have had some old fashioned views but you made losing money on a Saturday afternoon bearable!

I love watching big john again after all this time, it's like he never went away. RIP BIG JOHN 🙏❤️🇬🇧🤣😅 Apr twenty three

I'm dying of laughter. He's hilarious

"BEHAVE YOURSELF YOU FOOL!" Legend

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 ❤💐🐎

There's no characters on television anymore and Mccririck is certainly one of them.

What a legend, the clobber on him was top class

What a guy. Never forgotten big mac

I miss john and saturday afternoon racing. ITS CRAP NOW.

Being Irish 🇮🇪 and not liking horse racing I know is sacrilege,but John was entertaining,RIP

Had the pleasure of meeting big Mac once , we chatted for about 15 minutes , what a pleasant, honest and knowledgeable man.

RIP JM u was the only reason I watched race on Channel 4

He was a legend.. always comedy gold.. but he loved the game and we will miss him

"You're 55, look at you!" LMAO! "BEHAVE YOURSELF!"

Great character and racing misses him, RIP John

John McCririck is a quietly spoken bloke when he is in private. There will never be another horse racing commentor like him.

*G R O W U P* *B E H A V E Y O U R S E L F*

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.

Even when he told people off it was in a polite and humoured way RIP John

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.

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.

John was such a larger than life character who made horse racing absolutely fun, and it’s not the same without his hilarious anecdotes. RIP

Rip big Mac what a character you will be missed by us racing fans 🏇🏼☹️

We love you John,rip. Please come back. x.

RIP John McCririck

Absolute legend. Tv is shite now all these characters are gone in pc Britain.

RIP Big Mac, loved watching you at the races.

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!.

British TV needs more classic people like John McKirik and Richard Madeley - always entertainment.

He plays up to it all the time. The fools are those who get their knickers in a twist about him.

Brilliant intelligent individual how I miss Big Mac RIP the greatest entertainer of the betting jungle

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 spades a spade with John, he's 100% genuine.

Gonna miss this man, the things he comes out with, you just can;'t stay mad at him.

Fantastic😁 a true character and a marmite kind of guy ! RIP Mac 👍

RIP Big Mac, legend

John McCririck made Channel 4 Racing worth watching, RIP Big Mac.

There was one time I remember a guy standing next to him holding up a shirt saying “Same shit different day”

The world is a poorer place without him RIP big mac

What a legend. RIP

'Behave yourself!'

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

Who else wishes Chapman would run about calling people toe rags n insulting people then apologising 🤣🤣🤣

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

john is a 90s legend

what a legend!

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 !!

what a legend love watching him so funny

When channel 4 racing was class

I agree what a legend he is! He's so funny and I love his fashion sense.

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!!

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 great

Those who sacked him from horse racing were foolish - he made you want to watch it simply to see him.

is it just me whos waiting for steve coogan to rip off a fat suit?

A legend calling the odds upstairs now.

I liked you. R.I.P. John.

“YOU’RE 55 AND LOOK AT YOU!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

"Your 55 and look at you!!!" hahaha

that is all I ever seem to see him doing! yelling and going mental but love him none the less

Rofl 'Behave yourself' I love JM hes a fuking riot. lol

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

Rest in peace..

McCririck lit a fuse up the so dull presenters of any program he was on.

....his antics were one of the highlights of channel 4 racing.....a one off......the real tossers are standing behind............

2019 Cheltenham Festival and no remote sign of big mac. Guess what? The racing world is a much duller place.

Great days 🐎

Legend, RIP, hic!

A huge loss for racing when this character was removed from the game by the snowflakes of today.

Back in the old days of television when it was exciting and a laugh and now we are stuck with boring rubbish

He was hilarious on Celeb Big Brother arguing with Jackie Stallone!!

Legend

Backed down when he swore at that bloke and he talked back.

you hate him and love him such a legend.

Still miss you on the TV Big John! 📺

RIP John ☆
