Always enjoyed promoted teams who make a big impact. Docherty’s 75/76 team were a joy.

Obviously different times, but listening to him on Manchester local radio in January 1990 after Oldham had thrashed us in the FA Cup, when asked by his co host James Reeve to comment on the Albion’s pink away kit he replied “ Not only did they look like homosexuals they played like them as well” 
Like I said different times, but a top bloke, saw him speak at the Hove Town Hall at one of Tony Millard’s Sportsman’s Dinners, RIP The Doc.

True - when I asked him for his autograph he told me to F*ck off - but others have too. Great character and sad loss to the game.
Believe Jimmy Case got the Liverpool goal that day!
He got a biffing for that if I remember right.

Certainly did
And what a goal it was
I don't think Jimmy scored too many ordinary goals

Wasn't bad was it, cushioned on thigh, turned and hit it from edge of area.

A love match. Still married after 42 years. Po faced ManUre sacked him for it. Classless. But times were very wanky back then. Ask Das Reich - he's still living in them
RIP the other doc.

Indeed. After recalling my old man's casual racism, one can only let the absurdities and stupidities of different times go, perhaps with one eyebrow raised. Do it now, of course, and reap the whirlwind and rightly so. Sometimes I wonder how many generations I'd need to go back in my ancestry before I came across a rapist or a cannibal

Went to the Cup Tie with Chelsea in '67 and the replay. Remember Archie Macauley had his Chelsea team turfed off the pitch before KO for daring to do a warm up !

A real “marmite” character, you love him or hate him. One of those strong, opinionated men who used to run football.in the mold of Clough, Allison etc..
He did a lot for the game .. RIP .

Used to collect autographs and the Chelsea game was no exception and we camped outside the Dudley Hotel after school for several evenings. We were there one evening when it was getting a bit late and the Doc came out and said, “OK lads, that’s enough today.” He took us inside the hotel, gave us all a coke, and sent us on our way. Top bloke. RIP Doc.
Went to 'An Evening With' himself and Ron 'Chopper' Harris at The Romans pub in Southwick a few years ago. Great night and Tommy was on top form, he said right at the begining " you can ask me anything you like lads, no subject is off limits", some hilarious stories from the pair of them.
RIP Tommy.
