Footballer John Hartson, 'Big Bad John', hosts a Q&A evening with A Celtic State of Mind at the Reading Irish Centre.
John Hartson is coming to the Reading Irish Centre on Saturday 28 November, with the evening hosted by A Celtic State of Mind. If you've followed Scottish football, you'll know him as 'Big Bad John', the striker who was a mainstay of Martin O'Neill's Celtic side and became a Celtic Centurion over five seasons in Glasgow. This is a talking event rather than a match-day thing, so the night is built around Hartson himself.
It's A Celtic State of Mind running the show, and they've billed this as their final event of the year. The format is straightforward: Hartson takes the stage, and throughout the evening, you can put your own questions to him. It's a chance to hear him talk through his time at Celtic and his career in his own words, with the audience getting to steer the conversation. If there's something specific you've always wondered about those Glasgow years, this is the night to ask.
