Mick Channon's Southampton prediction in 1990

[yellow&blue]

Found this short clip on the video of the Official History of the Saints from 1990........right at the end Mick Channon suggests that one day Southampton might go on the be the Liverpool of the year 2000's.......quite a prediction, considering that Lovren, Lambert, and Lallana now play at Liverhampton. A bit tongue in cheek I know, how right he was!

I have this on video somewhere, classic stuff. Especially love the jazzed up "Oh when the Saints" which plays at beginning and end.

I have watched that video far too many times, I quote my favourite lines from it like a cult movie. Most of them come from Channon.

 

"Will he be on this video?"

"Right poser was Charlie"

"The grappling hooks weren't bitin'"

"Kick me arse out"

"Who cares?"

etc

On that video, there's a clip of the prolific...and world-class, former Southampton and Arsenal striker, Ted Drake saying the immortal words "once a saint, always a saint and I'll be a saint until the end of my days" (as I recall he was a local lad who worked for the Gasworks...which I assume is essentially where the stadium is now?), would it be possible for someone to pop that on Youtube (it's a big ask) but it's on the same video and it's such an inspiring one as he did until he died.

Thank you very much! I've literally been searching for that for years since I lost the original video; seemed like a lovely bloke, a deadly goalscorer in his time and clearly a Southampton lad at heart.

Think I need to find a copy of this video, has it been converted to dvd at all like "Unbelievable"?
