John Major wasn't a Eurosceptic, at least not in the years he was in power.

Originally he was for a referendum but against leaving. He's then called out the issues after the vote that he feels are damaging to the UK

Sir John Major has said it is wrong to flirt with leaving the European Union at a time when the world is coming together.
The former prime minister’s remarks might be taken as a warning to David Cameron not to push too hard the threat to leave the EU when he attends a two-day summit in Brussels at which Britain will press its renegotiated terms for staying in the bloc.
But Major said he was not giving advice to Cameron and thought it was right to hold a referendum to clear the air and “end this long-running and tiresome debate”.
