You would have got good odds on him lasting to 92.
RIP Tommy Doc.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Always an interesting manager in an interview. RIP.

RIP Tommy, amazing character and marvellous communicator, he had a great innings !

 

[Barham's tash]

Remember some excellent stories about the Doc from my usual source of Danny Baker.

Another character gone.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Turned Utd round after their relegation.

Didn’t he run off with the physio’s wife?

True character - RIP

RIP Doc

 

[Lower West Stander]

RIP.

He used to live just up the road from me on the outskirts of Manchester. I remember the press scrum outside his house when he got caught having his affair with Mary Brown. Cost him the Man U job although I think they were still together before he died.

A true legend of the game and a real character. Although he had real flaws he was a true football man who had his teams playing a really attractive style.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

A real character and a great football man. I may be misquoting but I think it was he who said after another of his sackings or misdemeanours
One door closes..... .another one slams in your face!

Always good value - RIP Tommy

 

[Gwylan]

A true legend of the game and a real character. Although he had real flaws he was a true football man who had his teams playing a really attractive style.

This is true: that Chelsea team of his played with some real swagger and his United team used two wingers, just when many teams were ditching them.

One of the last football characters, RIP

Met him once when he was manager of Aston Villa and were playing Arsenal. They were having their prematch meal at a hotel I was working aat in Seven Sisters Road which is now a block of flats. Friendly chap, happy to stop for a chat.

RIP Tom

Strangely enough, whilst sitting here waiting for my covid test result, I watched the new Denis Law documentary on Sky today. Pretty good it was too
Towards the end they mentioned Tommy Docherty, being his last manager at MUFC. So I wondered, is The Doc still alive?
Wikipedia confirmed it so 92 years old in fact.
Yet evidently not, poor chap.
RIP The Doc

Indeed - When it came to swearing - He made Ray Winston sound like a Nun

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Motorway services encounter

Met the great man at a motorway services on the way back from an away game many years ago. He was QPR manager at the time. I had the distinction of sharing a urinal with Tony Currie and Steve Wicks.

 

[Icy Gull]

Great wit as well as charismatic manager.

I’ve had more clubs than Jack Nicklaus

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

RIP

His United side stopped Liverpool from doing the treble

Classic Cup Final that

3 goals in the space of about 5 minutes

Seem to remember a photo of TD with the lid of the Cup on his head
