Hofefully he can pull thru. Title: Re: John Hartson Post by: ChipRich on July 14, 2009, 01:26:48 AM norrrr Big John Hartson.
Make a speedy recovery! Title: Re: John Hartson Post by: WarBwastard on July 14, 2009, 01:57:21 AM Very sad, loved him when he was a Gooner. Tough guy though he can beat it.
Title: Re: John Hartson Post by: kinboshi on July 14, 2009, 11:02:50 AM Always came over as a true professional. Wish him and his family the best of luck.

I loved Big Bad John as a player for Celtic, but would never have called him a true professional - doubt if even he would, he's been fairly honest about his faults. I just hope the big man gets through this OK. Title: Re: John Hartson Post by: Maxriddles on July 14, 2009, 10:44:47 PM I really hope the big guy can pull through, he's a tough character and I hope he fights this terrible disease with the same spirit he showed on the field.

However Hartson was a dirty thug who didn't show much sympathy for some of innocents he assaulted. Title: Re: John Hartson Post by: Acidmouse on July 15, 2009, 12:58:38 PM He will be dead by the end of the month I suspect, cancer in lungs, brain etc. Poor sod has 3 little kids :(
Title: Re: John Hartson Post by: TheChipPrince on July 15, 2009, 01:08:23 PM Virtually exactly the same as Lance, gonna be hell of a struggle from here, hopefully he pulls through.

I wish him all the best, but why exactly does this make him a legend? The exact opposite in my view with regard to this episode as on you tube. Though as I say, hope he recovers fully. He kicked Berkovic in the head, that's enough to make anyone a ledgend. Joking aside how is it the "opposite"? Berkovic hit him first, how can you have an unfavourable opinion of someone defending themself, what should hartson have done instead, started crying? Probably a good rule for life is that if you dont want to get kicked in the head you should probably refrain from hitting people first. Title: Re: John Hartson Post by: TightEnd on July 15, 2009, 03:17:44 PM My ire would be directed towards both, not just JH in isolation. I didn't enjoy a lot of the idolatry towards JH as a "hard nut" when he was playing
However, irrespective of my views on him as a footballer, what he faces now is far more important than any of that. Lets hope he pulls through Title: Re: John Hartson Post by: bolt pp on July 15, 2009, 03:18:47 PM My ire would be directed towards both, not just JH in isolation.

Life threatening illness >>>>> football player who put it about a bit. +1 He did put it about a bit as a player but far from the dirtiest I have seen by a long shot. That said I don't think there were too many centre backs who looked forward to playing against him. Title: Re: John Hartson Post by: Hairydude on July 15, 2009, 07:20:03 PM Met him once and was a true gent.... thoughts are with him and his family!
scary too- he's still so young and the news breaks on sunday, a few days later news is its spread to brain and lungs- hope he makes a recovery! Title: Re: John Hartson Post by: Rooky9 on July 15, 2009, 08:16:09 PM I also met him once. He was half conscious in my hotel bar at 3am on the Celtic Xmas party. He was one of the ones that didn't get arrested or didn't make a rapid retreat back to Glasgow. Seems unfair to judge someone when they are hammered, but it's really pretty irrelevant. I hope that there is someway he can overcome it, it would give so much hope to others as mch as the benefits to him and h's family. It sounds pretty bad and like it's going to be horrically quick. I hope
I am alive to see a fully effective cure for cancer. Title: Re: John Hartson Post by: Micko on July 15, 2009, 09:38:51 PM I wish no ill on nearly anybody.

This Sometimes there are subjects on blonde that you should just say nothing, rather than saying something negative. Title: Re: John Hartson Post by: Rod Paradise on September 15, 2009, 01:07:53 PM There was a programme about his fight against cancer on STV last night (don't know if it was on in England/Wales) - he was a silly bugger to just ignore the lump. Certaianly a warning to us all not to do the bloke thing and ignore problems hoping they'll go away.
