The Doc

Bit before my time tbh ,

My first game

My brother was 3 ! Stretford paddock , very sunny day as I recall . I developed my love for Stevie coppell from then

I remember Docherty slagging Cantona on Piccadilly along with that @#%&!stain Willie Morgan after the kung £#%&!ick and for that i can never forgive him.

He's a @#%&!.

Morgan.....had a weekly column in the Pink - always trying to convince everyone how he left George for dead in training. £#%&!er. Had a good song, decent player but what a @#%&!.


The Doc copped a lot of stick for doing the dirty work that Busby, O'Farrell and Sexton didn't have the bollox to do. Could've done it better but most reds from that period remember him fondly. Obviously bitter about his dismissal but a lot of fans were too.

He did some dirty work on the physio's wife nqat.

I remember his hatred of Pallister on James H Reeve's show. Every week, 'he's not a United player'.

I'd have loved to have watched United when he was manager though.

aye, we were on a high after beating the "treble winners" at Wembley and it all went to shite. Was all a bit of a shock really - that cup win was the best thing since '68. Then we got Sexton and "respectability".

he was on 30k a year at united and the sunday people were paying him 32k a year for a weekly column.

who, Doc?

He was manager when i first supported United so that makes me a bit biased towards him, I reckon he put together a top side though and they might have gone to even more sucess. Sexton £#%&!ed them up.
Docherty did become a bitter £#%&!ing rentagob though

as much as he should have shut the £#%&! up talking shite - at least he wasn't towing the party line and saying nothing about no one and stealing a wage from it
