Blondi Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Thought he'd died about 25 years ago, how does a Glaswegian like Docherty live until 92? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embarrassing Stretford fc just after winning the cup when found to be shagging the wife of one of his own staff. 2. Being in the chair when Stretford fc were relegated.

Roger_Dubuis Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Roughly speaking in 75 years since the war Fergie and Busby managed for 50 seasons. In the other 25 it's a toss up between Docherty and Big Ron for who was 3rd best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it a cover up and he had a scrap with Doc ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyrotten Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
