THREE of Saints' all-time greats are joining up with Mattew Le Tissier on the "special" guest list for England's European Championship qualifier against Macedonia at the Friends Provident St Mary's Stadium tomorrow.

Former manager Lawrie McMenemy and star players Mick Channon and Alan Ball are special guests of the Football Association for Southampton's big night of international football.

All three have strong England links. Both Ball and Channon captained the England side and between them they turned out 118 times for their country, Ball earning 72 caps, Channon 46 - 45 of them while he was a Saint.

McMenemy managed the England B and England under-21 sides during his time as Graham Taylor's assistant in the England set-up.

Le Tissier, who is guest of honour, will meet the two teams before tomorrow night's match.
