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'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!".....

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. 😂
