I remember Mick when I was a very young boy, standing in the Kippax Stand, at Man City (Maine Road ground). I recall his talent as a great Striker, but also for his quirky (and unique to him) goal celebration; when he would run up the wing, with his arm revolving in a 'windmill' motion!! Fabulous guy, both as Footballer and Horse Trainer. Hope you are enjoying your Retirement, Mick - and thanks for all the brilliant memories you left your fans with. God bless! ;-D, Dylan Freeman, Man City fan.
I would go back to that era in a heartbeat I was a blue surrounded by my family most of them gone now corner of the Kippax and the North stand Mick`s goal celebrations stick in the memory.
I've met and conversed with Mr Channon on several occasions at the Harrow pub in West Ilsley, where his stables are. This video is a complete load of bollocks. I know he's now handed over to his son, but really, how many people still work into their 70s, especially in the racing game, a truly tough environment. Mick is and always will be a true English hero, not just in one field but two. He's a true gentleman, simple.
I stood within the old Kippax Street stand at Maine Road as a youngster and although Mick's stint at City was brief he immediately become the fans favorite for his goals and that unmistakable arm revolving windmill celebration. .....Mick is still talked about with a great fondness today by the older generation Blues who had the great pleasure & privilege of seeing him play in the sacred Sky-Blue shirt of Manchester City, Mick's time at Maine Road might have been short but He left us with so many wonderful memories and a Legacy to last a lifetime....."God-Bless You Mick Channon, Once a Blue, Always a Blue!".....
Also, he didn't make a so called come back, he carried on playing after Southampton with Norwich going on to win the League (Milk) Cup, then on to Portsmouth. This is an awful video of the Great man.
Jeez, "How he lives is sad" what utter lies! How Sport Icons lives. now, THAT is SAD. You should be ashamed of yourself. This great man Mick is actually living really well, in the lap of luxury, having passed his thriving business down to his son. No wonder you don't want anyone to know your real voice by using a robot. "Press like", never.
I remember a story about Mick a good few years ago. He was driving with Kevin Keegan in the Horse Breeding County in Kildare Ireland. They were looking for the Town of Naas and pulled up to ask a local Kildare man for directions. Mick said in his North of England Accent "Is this (pronciation) nice". The local wit replied "Yes its very nice" The two lads had a good laugh. Two great sportsmen, and also very nice chaps. 😂
Mick Channon is indeed a busy man. With his love of horse racing and his stables. It was nice to see him, wishing Saints good luck for the weekend. In which the team were promoted. COYR
He was on Granada "Yesterdays heroes" in the early 90s. "You want to know the only difference between Man Utd and Man city, they had an air crash" Classless bastard, karma is a bitch eh....
If he was travelling home from Doncaster before the crash, why is there a picture of Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, USA? As usual some very strange choices of photographs among some good ones. Quality is far better than quantity.
A inaccurate comment to an inaccurate, piss poor piece. Amongst many many things he didn’t finish his football career with a season at Southampton he went on to win the League Cup with Norwich at Wembley then went on to Portsmouth. He’s living a happy life now watching his son carrying on his successful business….what an oaf these author(s) are! 🤬🤬🤬
It’s absolute nonsense! He’s still seen quite happily at race meetings chatting with anyone & enjoying his racing. Also speaking to the media on occasion. And who’s “Shennen”? American rubbish that doesn’t know enough about its subject….again under this kind of banner! 🫣

Thanks for sharing such a wonderful memory with us, Dylan.
I also stood in the Kippax, remember the windmill celebration and the chants of “beat em on the head” from the cool catz.

Can't watch the synthesized voice is awful.

This isnt accurate at all, he's doing brilliant. Met him a while ago and he's loving his stables and traning winners.
His son running it all now!
HOW CAN YOU SAY HOW MICK LIVES IS SAD ITS A INSULT TO SUCH A GREAT MAN

Yet more gutterpress clickbait nonsense, this should be banned.
God bless ya mick, great player, trainer and man, ah the best to a legend and congratulations on all your good work with your Charites x

A disgraceful concoction of wrong photos and wrong information. I won’t be watching any more videos from these diabolical people again 🤬

He just got old. It happens to everyone.
Mick was not driving the car, the pictures are not of the car involved.
It’s a left hand drive and it’s a long air ambulance from Doncaster, Yorkshire to Massachusetts, USA!
I met him in the curragh absolute gentleman did great in football and horseracing
A poor video put together by AI with incorrect words and facts
Mick looks like he's doing fine to me. He looks great!
I remember him coming out from maine road stadium when I was going for a trial. He got into an orange mini.
He won the league cup with Norwich
Please make your mind up on the pronunciation of his surname.
To be fair, Mick Channon is the guy who repeatedly called Gary Lineker “The Boy Lynn Acher” when he was working as a pundit at the 1986 World Cup.
Computer generated speech is so annoying 👍🏽
Every who gets old life is sad according to OP. Hope remembers self in due course.
He was on Granada "Yesterdays heroes" in the early 90s.
"You want to know the only difference between Man Utd and Man city, they had an air crash"
Classless bastard, karma is a bitch eh....
And his team beat your lot in the 76 f a cup final.
The stage where Mick Chanon (sic) truly shon (sic)
A lovely person, who lit up our lives over the years when playing
A lot of inaccuracies in this…

The pronouciation of his surname is quite frankly embarrassing.
We find it quite accurate!

@@Sport_Icons_WorldWidewell you’re wrong ffs..everyone knows how it’s pronounced.
If he was travelling home from Doncaster before the crash, why is there a picture of Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, USA? As usual some very strange choices of photographs among some good ones. Quality is far better than quantity.
