Channon made his debut for Southampton as a 17 year old in 1966, scoring in the match against Bristol City. Within three years he had established himself as the club's main goalscorer and was consistent in front of goal at a time when Southampton were one of the more unglamorous teams in English football's First Division. However, despite a record season tally of 21 goals for Southampton in 1974, the club were relegated to the Second Division at the end of the season. Channon stayed loyal to Southampton despite obvious concerns for his international chances and was rewarded in 1976 which was a special year for Channon. Southampton were still in the Second Division but nevertheless enjoyed a dream run to the FA Cup final where they played Manchester United. Although Southampton were a lower division side, they were considerably more experienced and the occasion got to Manchester United's youthful team who underperformed substantially. Southampton won 1-0, with Channon playing a part in the winning goal scored late in the game by Bobby Stokes. It was his first domestic honour in the game. Manchester City In the close season before the 1977-78 season, Channon left his beloved Southampton - still in the Second Division - to join Manchester City in a £300,000 deal. His new club were making progress, having just finished second in the First Division behind champions Liverpool, but this was where they peaked and Channon struggled to settle. He scored 12 goals in his first season and 11 in his second. Return to Southampton Channon went back to Southampton (by now back in the First Division) in September 1979. Now in his thirties, he continued to play regularly though his goals ratio was not good in his second spell, with only ten coming in each of his first two seasons back at the club. He joined Newcastle United in 1982 after playing 510 games for Southampton over two spells, scoring a total of 185 goals placing him top of the club's list of all-time goalscorers Mick CHANNON | 1973-1974 | PES Stats Database (Golden Era Backup)
