My late father’s favourite player. Before moving to North East Essex when I was ten we lived in Southampton and Weymouth so would go to every home game at the Dell. Channon and Ron Davies were a threat pairing up front. |  |

I remember seeing him score at PR in a 2-2 draw back in 72-73. IIRC Ron Davies scored their other and Terry Paine was sent off. Davies and Channon were a seriously good front two. |  |

I recently saw a clip of that great Southampton team goal he finished off against Liverpool, complete with "windmill" celebration.
Cracker. |  |

Him with the whirly arm goal celebration, good player despite playing for Norwich. It is getting to the stage where all the players from my youth are old men now and there will be regular obits of all these great players. Sad but inevitable. | | | |

If you want an example of a 'you don't see players like that any more', there aren't many better than him. He always seemed to be playing mostly for the fun of it and because he was good at it. As soon as it stopped being fun, he was off to racing. |  | | |

Robson agreed a price for him when he had a bad spell. Ron Davies was injured so Southampton decided to just wait a few weeks before letting him come. Unfortunately Channon found his form in that time and the transfer was called off. | | | |
