Met him once at a rugby club dinner at uni. Had a chat with him early on and he was a decent bloke. Told him I was BWFC and he said he’d talk about us in his after dinner speech as he’d grown up recognising us as one of the biggest clubs back in his early days

Never got there. As soon as he was introduced at the start of the evening a load of scousers started the “Who’s up Mary Brown” song and he walked out before they’d even started serving food

The court case between him and Willie Morgan was a cracker.😄

What was the court case about ? 
watched one of the big match reruns on itv4  Utd v orient was on it and Morgan was interview  after the game saying he was out pre season with a fucked eye caused by a tennis ball hitting him . Was it a cover up and he had a scrap with Doc ?

He basically said Tommy Doc was fucking useless at managing players at  O/T.

Went to "an audience with" Tommy Doc and Malcolm Allison at the Albert Halls about 20 years ago, he was very entertaining.  Allison was pretty dire and Doc was basically trying to cover for him and make MA seem funnier than he was.

No denying he added to the spectacle of 70s football.  He made it a bit better than it would have been without him, not just as a manager but as a personality on phone in's etc.  RIP.
