Rasputin was a C... 0 Posted August 28, 2008 According to Sky Sport News, Mick Channon is in a serious condition following a car crash. I hope it''s not too serious and that he recovers quickly. All I know of him as a player is that he scored a few goals for us and helped the club to the League Cup win in 1985. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,537 Posted August 29, 2008 Yes indeed City Angel. I too wish him well, it''s not just the physical injuries but also the death of a friend of 30 years. Good friends are hard to come by and too precious to lose.Mike Channon was 36 when we won the Milk Cup and his goals earlier in the competition helped get us through tricky early rounds where we needed replays to beat Preston and Aldershot before he scored his 300th league goal in the 4th round victory over Notts Co. I smiled when I read about the "lead legs sticker" because I still have the quotes he made after he scored that 300th goal :-"You''re as young as you feel. We were beaten at Leicester on Saturday and everyone said I was past it. We''ve won tonight, I''ve scored and everyone is saying I''ll go on forever. That''s the way it is in football. Sometimes I feel in need of new legs. Other times I don''t. I don''t find any defenders out there standing to one side and saying ''you''re 35, I''ll let you pass''. They really ought to give you 5 yards start but they don''t. They treat you the same as a 23-year-old who''s full of running - and I wouldn''t have it any other way."Good luck Mike Channon [*] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
