Hugh_Jazz Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 When you see the number of obese/smoking/drinking people that live until ripe old age regardless of their lifestyle, it just seems like such an injustice to see people like this being affected.Terrible news, but if he takes on his illness in the same way that he took on defenders during his career, he's got a better than fighting chance of coming out the other side.

Alkaline Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 It's not a good sign when it spreads from a localised area though. I really don't think the poor guys prognosis will be good unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hope he pulls through; always enjoyed his combative, no-nonsense playing style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 It's not a good sign when it spreads from a localised area though. I really don't think the poor guys prognosis will be good unfortunately. I agree. If he pulls through this you've got to worry that the cancer cells have already been spreading around his body for a while now and have probably found homes elsewhere.It's a bit sickening really.

Guest idol_wild Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Genuinely sad news. I always rated John Hartson and I will always remember that peach he scored at Anfield.I was loving Celtic for one night only that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootray Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Oh man, it'll be a real shame if he dies.Absolute beast of a striker but still seemed very gentlemanly at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waltz Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Genuinely sad news. I always rated John Hartson and I will always remember that peach he scored at Anfield.I was loving Celtic for one night only that night.Especially considering its importance, that was one of the best goals I've ever seen/experienced/whatever.Really sad news, I think he said on Setanta that he was planning to do some coaching with a view to management. Now it seems he won't get to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I always love Big Bad John (that Anfield goal was immense), and this is something that you do not wish upon anyone. I really hope that he can beat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gladstone Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Good news for John:-BBC News - Hartson's relief at cancer newsGood stuff, hopefully he can get the all clear.It's always a worry when someone's had such an aggressive form of cancer that it will come back. Fingers crossed it won't.I fucking love Hartson. One of favourite ever Celtic players. A big lump of a player up front who had a great touch, scored for fun, rumbled the defenders up, and on very odd occasions when he could be arsed, he even had a turn of pace over about 5-10 yards!That goal at Anfield was a beast, and so important. We would have won the UEFA Cup if Hartson hadn't been out injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
