John Smeaton became famous around the world after he was invloved in thwarting the 2007 Glasgow International Airport Attack.
Following his heroic efforts in defeating the two terrorists, Smeaton was interviewed for many news and television programmes and his down-to-earth phrases and no-holds-barred comments made the world take notice of the former baggage-handler.
Asked by ITV News what his message to terrorists was, he said: "Glasgow doesn't accept this. This is Glasgow; we'll set aboot ye."
In his News of the World interview, he said: "If any more extremists are still wanting to rise up and start trouble, know this: We’ll rise right back up against you. New York, Madrid, London, Paisley … we’re all in this together and make no mistake, none of us will hold back from putting the boot in."
It wasn't long before the world caught on to John's story and a tribute website was set up in Smeaton's honour, which received 500,000 hits in its first 48 hours.
