About this product
Product Information
Longlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award. Framed within the tribulations of a turbulent year in a racing yard, How's Your Dad? examines the relationship between a father and son. The father, Michael Channon Snr, an arthritic workaholic and a grumpy old bastard , played football at the highest level for over twenty years, scoring crucial goals for the likes of Southampton, Norwich City and most famously, England. Almost uniquely, he followed up this sporting career with another, ultimately scaling the heights of the Racing game. With such an illustrious Father, Michael Channon Jnr had plenty to live up to and though he enjoyed the many benefits of such a connection he felt that pressure, as well as the relative anonymity of always being Mick's son . Vividly and often humourously told, this story is balanced with deeply atmospheric, sometimes darkly dramatic, flashbacks to a youth often misspent. As a small boy Michael Junior is led out on to the pitch at Wembley on Cup Final Day, as a student he finds himself in intensive care after succumbing to his drunken state and the dangers of sleeping on the roof.His promising career as a TV producer is hampered by an untimely fire in the workplace as well as a loss of direction, a direction that once found leads back to where he began, at his Father's side. Rigidly old fashioned and phenomenally short tempered, Michael Senior fosters a love/hate relationship, but in caring for his father in the aftermath of a horrendous car crash Michael Junior poignantly uncovers the hidden feelings every son has for their Dad.Product Identifiers

Great book
A very good and brutally honest account of Mick Channon's life with his dad, former footballer Mike Channon. This was recommended to me by Mick senior's former manager at Southampton Lawrie McMenemy who told me it was an "excellent read" and I can do nothing but agree with him. This is a book that I highly recommend as it's a man giving an honmest warts and all account of his life and noit anything like other autobiographies which give bare minimum facts and are often very sugary!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
