On this day in 1966, seventeen-year-old Mick Channon made his league debut for Southampton at the Dell. Channon scored that day and he would go on to score 228 goals for #SaintsFC in all competitions. He is still the club’s all-time leading goalscorer.

Never seen so many people wearing red and white out in the streets of Southampton
I went from Bitterne Park to the top of Lodge Road on the bus then walked across the common to King Edwards, and they were absolutely everywhere 😁
(Well - technically, I suppose, on the matchday 💙💛.)
