Jock, I'm sure there's a little of the old Glaswegian rivalry in that comment but I can tell you from personal experience that the real John Harston is far removed from the one given to him by those (mainly opposition fans) who don't truly know him.
As Annis will confirm, I was fortunate enough to spend some time with John and Sarah earlier this year and I found him to be a very personable guy who has come to terms with his addiction and realises the value of what was a most taken away from him through two illnesses (the cancer and the gambling)
I witnessed John being abused by a Rangers fan in Edinburgh and it wasn't a pleasant experience, I can tell; you but he just had to shrug it off. Not nice for anyone, surely?
John is very open about his life experiences and what he has learned. He has a very strong partner in Sarah (a lovely lady but typically forthright Scot) and he values her and their children immensely. He is currently working hard to build them a fresh life in a beautiful part of Scotland
As for his punditry? I've always found him pretty good and I know for a fact that he has upset a lot of his hometown fans with some of his justified comments in the dark days of last season. "I have to say it as I see it or what's the point of me being there?" is what he said
As a Cardiff City fan, I should dislike Big John but I can't and the reason is simple; it's because I've met him, I've spoken to him and I have to say I liked him as a person!

do agree with your punditry remark.
but generally agree with SVEN on this
met him a number of times over the years and always been great despite me wanting to not like him...has also put himself out to talk to and try and help young lads with similar problems {gambling }...

Fair enough, I sat at the next table to him in a Cardiff restaurant and all he spoke about was money, sounds like he's changed his focus and sorted himself out. Cap doffed for that.
He does talk shite though.
