About this deal

He was the subject of This Is Your Life in 2001 when he was surprised by Michael Aspel while being interviewed at his West Ilsley racing stables near Newbury. [34] Football honours [ edit ] The writing style is unpretentious, easy to read and ideally suited to the openness and honesty with which Channon Jnr describes his life. Those of you for who, like me, Channon Jnr is a fringe figure we know little about will find his self-deprecating and humorous take on life appealing and it isn’t long before we get to know him as a likeable and very human character whose younger days away from his father’s side offer much entertainment in their own right. He said: "It's exciting and daunting all at the same time, but me and Dad have been preparing for this for quite a while and I'm looking forward to getting started. How many former England football internationals can you name who are still scoring against international opposition thirty four years after retiring? We bought a lot of cheap horses for Jaber Abdullah such as Queen's Logic, Flashy Wings and Music Show, as well as Zafeen who was second in the Guineas and won the St James's Palace Stakes. Jaber was brilliant."

Channon lasted barely a month at Newcastle before joining Bristol Rovers. [7] His impressive career seemingly on the decline, he failed to score in nine games for Bristol Rovers before a sudden departure again, this time to Norwich City where, at the age of 34, he found some of his old touch. [8] He played 88 games over three seasons, scoring 16 goals, and suffered a mixed end to his Norwich career in 1985 when the club won the League Cup — Channon's second and final domestic honour — with a 1–0 win over Sunderland at Wembley, but were then relegated (with Sunderland) at the end of the same season. [9] [10] Channon joined Portsmouth and Finn Harps (where he played in one League of Ireland Cup game), [11] before retiring from the game in 1986. [12] [13] International career [ edit ] The concept of the Great American Novel casts a long shadow in modern American fiction with any number of self-consciously 'big' books. Although not without flaw, The Sport Of Kings is epic in its scope and magnificently realised. I recall Bernie Clifton and his ostrich being there one year, and I even phoned in and got on the telly to ask for Southampton’s 1976 FA Cup goal to be shown because my dad was in the studio as a pundit with Brian Moore and the Saint and Greavsie in 1984. The list below is a personal one of course – and will be missing lots of good titles. But these are books that I have enjoyed and will read again. The closing chapter is entitled 'I'd be surprised if there's ever been a better horse', quoting Cecil's observation after Frankel's final performance on Champions Day. No, but there have been some incredible stories on the 300-year journey from Syria to that Ascot apogee.Euro 2020: Czech Republic Beat England 2–1". Prague Morning. 12 October 2019 .

Michael Mulcahy: A book I would highly recommend is “Vincent O’ Brien” The Official Autobiography by Jacqueline O’ Brien & Ivor Herbert. It is a fascinating insight into the Maestro, Beautifully illustrated and some great photographs. Called up to make his debut for the England national team by Alf Ramsey in October 1972, Channon played well enough in a 1–1 draw with Yugoslavia at Wembley to be selected for the squads for two subsequent qualifying matches for the 1974 FIFA World Cup, although he was not eventually in the team for either. [1] However, he won his second cap in a famous 5–0 hammering of Scotland at Hampden Park in February 1973, scoring his first goal in the process. [14] There are others - A Fine Place to Daydream - Bill Barich's account of how an American ended up living in Ireland and falling in love with an Irish girl and European racing, is wonderful; so is Steeplechasing by the Johns Hislop and Skeaping and the biography of Arkle - The Life and Legend of Himself - by Sean Magee. When Saints finally sent him on his way, he eventually proved that the light still shone brightly by turning up at Norwich City, playing football as a hobby, training as often as he saw fit, and doing as he pleased.I was intimidated, scared and excited – in a pair of shit trainers. I don’t remember much of the following three hours of my life, but a few things will never be forgotten: I remember drinking loads of orange cordials with glucose tablets in them out of plastic cups. Even now people still refer to it. I've even occasionally been known to do it after I've trained a winner but not often because you get funny looks in the racing game.’ McGrath traces the development of the Darley Arabian line from the progenitor's roots in Syria and importation to England in 1704 down the generations of male-line descendants – 25 of them, right up to modern-day god Frankel – and through their stories he explores not just the development of the thoroughbred, but of the sport itself. This is no ordinary history book. Yes, it charts the last 300‐odd years of the sport that has evolved into modern horseracing but it is written in such a wonderfully enchanting way it is more a raucous romp through time filled with the most extraordinary characters and scarcely‐believable tales. It starts with the foundation of the thoroughbred. It's been a great way of life for over 30 years and I can't thank everyone that has helped us enough. I couldn't have got there without them.
