John Hartson was a diamond for Celtic. The old view used to say he was so immobile he had moss growing on his shoes, but I saw him play and he was a cracking and intelligent footballer. I'd listen to John there.
I'm not a big football fan. I once took my football-mad son to a Wales vs Argentina game in Cardiff. John was sort of centre midfield/forward. The way it went all evening was: one of the backs or midfielders hoofed the ball up the middle to an apparently otherwise stationary, but leaping, John Hartson - who then deflected a header onto the feet of his advancing forwards either side of him. Like a reliable precision instrument. Just fantastic to watch it was.....
After watching Gazza cry like a baby after getting booked for England and would’ve missed the final. Then watching Keano’s performance against juventus after he was booked and went on to miss the final. The guy is without doubt one the greatest captains/ leaders ever. I’m a city fan.
Watching games from that time you see what a great passer he was. Not amazingly creative but 90% of the time it was a forward pass. Very few can do that!
Gazza was not a captain or a leader, I think he wouldn't argue that.. And definitely an emotional person.. But if you honestly think Roy was a better footballer then Gazza then sorry my friend but you are off your nut.
I remember when John went for a medical at rangers and failed it, then ended up at Celtic, and the rest is history. I’m not Scottish or Welsh, but I always liked hartson, still do.
Roy Keane Is an Irish Legend .. A Gentleman who Doesnt suffer fools .. and without a Doubt .. would be the First Name on Any Top Drawer Managers Team Sheet .. john H .. is bang on .. Roy is Gold on and off the feild .
I think Roy would be perfect for a big club I think the reason he hasn’t been massively successful in management is because the players he’s managed could never understand what it takes to get the most out of themselves were as top players at big clubs do
Roy was never honest about how bad Ole or Ronaldo were at United. But I can understand why because there team mates years ago. He does hold back for very few. But I'm a big Roy fan. Always have been I'm a big Liverpool fan. But I used watch United matches and just watch Roy Keane and how he got from box to box and his passing was the best at United nice a quick passing always United sent him packing just like Ronaldo for speaking the truth. So people In future join Liverpool we treat past players better
Embrassing a professional footballer boasting about how many crisp packets he ate. Ironic that roy won more medals than johns snack choice in that interview.
Keane mentioned Hartson in one of his books. He had a pop at him for having crisps and fizzy drinks on the team bus after a game when they were both at Celtic. I'm assuming that's the story.
Roy should stick to being an assistant because he doesn't like players drinking fizzy drinks and isn't shy in saying so? I like John and I appreciate his feelings were hurt but come on.
How can hartson know what roy is getting paid? Complete rubbish, just someone having digs pretending he doesn't know he is, passive aggressive at its worst
@@jaywalkercrew4446 Notts forest won the European Cup twice on players who drank alcohol before a match and would smoke at half time and barely did any fitness training while clubs on the continent were models of professionalism so it's not a universal truth at all
Well I actually seen when he was selling a house or something one of those crappy tabloid papers were running a story about how Roy had a mirror above his bed. You can google it if you like
John Hartson speaking absolute truth for nearly 2 minutes. He overcame cancer as well with what would've been extremely long odds 👏
What a marvelously entertaining anecdote about Roy.
You don't hear fascinating vignettes like this gem every day.

@@deanomaynard5371 to add I didn’t say a better footballer read again my friend
Well said 👊
I just didn't see that plot twist coming at the end and that hilarious and heartwarming build up too, just side splitting, such a great great story.
They could honestly make a movie out of this.

The Greatest Story Ever Told!!!!
Never had Keane down as a mirror on the bedroom ceiling kind of guy. Robbie savage definitely but not keano
John hartson was a great player himself underrated 👏
when? 🤣🤣🤣
Very well said John
John Hartson; fine footballer. If he'd have been available in 03 Celtic for sure would've won UEFA Cup.
What a great story
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Amazing story
This is a great story, I'll be sharing this on all my social media, I reckon it'll go viral!
Hartson made his point about Roy in a succinct subtle way
Love this story
A must listen. ;)
I think Roy would be perfect for a big club I think the reason he hasn’t been massively successful in management is because the players he’s managed could never understand what it takes to get the most out of themselves were as top players at big clubs do
Yeah im not sure if he´ll fit in management today because todays generation of Players are too sensetive but he has a lot of knowledge.
1:51 Wow. Roy Keene's got a mirror on his bedroom ceiling!
I remember when I was a baby sleeping with my head on the pillow and looking myself in the mirror - it's not as easy as one might think
Well said big bad John 🇮🇪👌
Hartson talks like he played the game.
In a steady cumbersome drone strike without standing out.
This tops any Cloughie anecdote!
Keano only one Keano only one KEANO
Keano needs to be oles num 2. I cant work out why it hasnt happened. Now ronnys back be great to have keane on the coaching staff
Fergie
cos Roy thinks Ole is a muppet
Cos Roy is his senior...Roy can only be no.2 under certain people...
Wow this aged well
Should’ve saved that one for the book John, way too good to give away for free on here
What utter crap he did great at Sunderland as a manager
Got them promoted?
@@ianC7697 Yes from rock bottom, won the league.
I misunderstood your comment. I agree.
@@lardosian I'm on Keano's side. Misunderstood
Sunderland are a doomed.club
What a funny story
I'm not sure he should always be the assistant manager. He smashed it at Sunderland.
Roy was never honest about how bad Ole or Ronaldo were at United. But I can understand why because there team mates years ago. He does hold back for very few. But I'm a big Roy fan. Always have been I'm a big Liverpool fan.

What story?
I name my first son Roy and my second Hartson….

Only jack I like .. hartson
Change the titles. These are not stories.
Fair play to ye john
More creative than Spielberg this guy
Not a hilarious anecdote, but an interesting insight into both Keane and the dry, intelligent John Hartson.
ok so whats the story about
Where was the story?
Wait!! What??...
> Selects "don't recommend channel"
So where was the story about Roy
the comments......hahahaha
Where’s the story?
Keane hadn't got man management to be a manager

Where's the story.🤔🤔
What story.. lads . Come on
dont worry Tubbs he wont get far
We didn't burn him 🔥🔥🔥
CLICK BAIT THIS 👎Hardly a Story. Tell us something we didn't already know. The actual interview must be atleast 7/8 yrs old now.
Watch your mouth Hartson
So… Roy Keane has a mirror next to his bed so he can look at himself??
Packets of crisps and fizzy drinks is the standard diet for the level of football in Scotland.
Can't argue with that.
thats why the quality is so high
Drink a keg of irn Bru and your good to go
Who do you play for then? Making good money?

He hates him
He’s not fat he’s big boned
Like a brontosaurus
He's not fat, he's a very naughty boy....
That is not a story.
He’s in better shape then you there John
Yep 👍😂😃
*than
I don't think that's up for debate lol
As someone that’s into keeping fit I don’t eat crisps or drink fizzy drinks..it’s true what Roy said.
“A pro doing that is unacceptable.”

😂😂😂 SPL is a joke.
@@unusedsub3003 I know, a one horse race mate
Only decent game he played was when he got man of the match at Ibrox. Too many injuries during the last 6 months.
Aye like joey Barton! When Scott brown had him in his pocket!!

Pure Clic bait 🤣
Roy has a mirror at his bedside so he can look at himself when his head hits the pillow? 😳
