underboyleheating Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 I see John Gahagan is on Peter and Roughies legends special show. Worth a watch. John Gahagan, Wednesday December 30Former Motherwell player John shares in the humour from his playing days, the darkness of his personal life and the laughter from the after-dinner circuit.

underboyleheating Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 A good watch It was, however, a psychologist would have a field day with Gahagan. He seemed a little on edge during the interview and at one point he asks Roughie if his answers are “okay’ which makes you wonder if he has some self confidence issues. Still, it was good to see an ex Well player make it on to their football legends programme. I always enjoyed watching him play, and it was sad to see him leave for Morton and ultimately miss out on a potential place on the 91 cup winning bench.

weeyin Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 An entertaining player to watch. Mostly because when he started running with the ball, he had no idea where he was going, so it was as exciting for him as it was or us! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcguru Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 An entertaining discussion and when talking about the Well winning the cup soon after he left. The question should be asked about his emotions playing for Morton against us in the quarter final. Did JG not in fact score one of their penalties in the shoot out?

mjw Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 An entertaining discussion and when talking about the Well winning the cup soon after he left. The question should be asked about his emotions playing for Morton against us in the quarter final. Did JG not in fact score one of their penalties in the shoot out? The only time I've ever wanted an opposition player to score a pen against us. My first Motherwell favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mio Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Love Johnny Gahagan. Great watch, such an edgy wee guy and someone who just genuinely loved Motherwell. Legend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolhandluc Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 That was a brilliant watch. My abiding memory of John Gahagan is, strangely, watching him celebrate a goal at Tynecastle as a sub behind the goal!

joewarkfanclub Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Met him and his missus at Edinburgh Airport on the way out to Athens for the Champions League qualifier. Great wee guy. Happy to take time out to stand and talk and take photos. You could tell he had a deep effection for the club. Ive heard he is an excellent after dinner speaker. On my list of things to do if I ever get the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my list of things to do if I ever get the chance. I've seen him 3 times and he is one of the best, if not the best I've seen. Probably helps there's a Motherwell connection to a lot of the anecdotes. His nervous energy is weird! He sits looking like a nervous wreck, then gets on his feet and explodes for half an hour. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
something else Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 He is an amazing after dinner speaker. The best I've seen. All round great guy actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigeeze Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Met him when I stewarded the Motherwell Greatest Team event. At end of shift was on my way home walking along when I heard this voice shout out. Turned around and there was John who said " Here's some money to buy all the Stewards who worked today a drink" and handed over a wad of notes. Great guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Just watched The Peter and Roughie interview. Very entertaining. Very honest and modest appraisal of his own style and ability. Probably why he is still so well regarded by most Well fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I have saw him he was looking so feart, then when he started there was a nervous explosion about his act too. He was also greatly hilarious.

dossertillidie Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Thanks for posting this link. Really enjoyed it. Played before my time but from his after dinner speaking I always got the impression he wasn't much of a player. Nice to hear we took to him fondly. Agree with Peter martin best after dinner speaker in the country. Down to earth approachable guy I'm glad the way he portrays his career isn't 100% accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotts Well Fan Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 I always thought Gahagan was a very good player for us. I met him a few years ago at a Sportsmen's dinner up here in Sheepyland. He was speaking alongside Nobby Stiles. Great night and top fun. At the interval I approached him for his autograph and told him he had been one of my favourite players. As Nobby Stiles was in the toilet he asked me to come back and ask again when Nobby was back as he said he never got much of this. A great and funny guy.
