[The 90+2]

This year can really sook ma root.

Legend of a man rip.

[HoboHarry]

A real character. IIRC he once likened Gordon McQueen to a runaway camel 😂😂😂

[Hibernia&Alba]

Auld Tommy Doc; he had mair clubs than Tiger Woods. Was famously sacked from Man United in 1977, after winning the cup, for pumping the physio's wife. A 'character' alright.

92 is pretty damn good

[Pagan Hibernia]

Controversial, and seemingly loved and hated in equal measure, but what a character. The type we just don’t see anymore in the modern game. His teams were very exciting to watch too.

Didn’t he say that Billy then swiftly bin Pat from the squad? I seem to remember he also likened Tam Forsyth to a Clydesdale horse...
Bit of a chancer I always thought although relegation with Man U will keep him remembered as will the story of how he left Man U, a classic of its time. But yet another character gone no mistake.

I seem to recall that the Clydesdale comparison was used when he was comparing Forsyth to Martin Buchan. Could be wrong though....

Might have been. He certainly called that one right.

And lived with her happily ever after.

[Hiber-nation]

As a daft 14 year old I honestly thought Scotland would win the World Cup under the Doc.

Mrs Brown
P.S. Don't know about you but I am amazed he lived to be 92

There was a really good BT Sport film about his Man U team that got relegated then bounced back to take the top league by storm. I was never a Man U lover but that was a fantastic entertaining young team and I’m sure they’d have won the league if he hadn’t got sacked for his misdemeanours with Mary Brown.

A true character. RIP Doc.

United fans mourned their loss with this creative reworking of Knees Up Mother Brown:
"Who's up Mary Brown? Who's up Mary Brown? Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, Docherty."

As you say a classic of it's time.

RIPhe also said Pat Stanton would never play for Scotland again whilst he was Scotland manager. pat had to withdraw from the squad as his wife had just had a baby and was not happy with him!

Wisnae everybody’s cup of tea

I remember the incident so well. it made me so angry the He was being treated so badly by Docherty.

[GordonHFC]

Someone once compared Lorenzo Amaruso to Billy McNeil and the Doc replied 'I can't remember Billy being that bad'

I was at the Portugal game to see his debut, as the chant went, Wilson, Jardine, Davy Hay, Bremner, Colquhoun, Stanton, Johnstone, Graham, John O'Hare, Archie Gemmill, Cropley. nah nah nah nah etc. October 1971, I was 15, where have all those years gone! 2-1 Scots, O'Hare & Gemmill. I remember getting hammered by both Belgium [3-0] & Portugal [2-0] in the away legs earlier that year, performances as bad as the scoreline suggested and this was during a run that took in the coming home international championships which saw us losing to England and N Ireland and drawing with Wales, the only game in seven that we avoided defeat. The "Doc" took over and the impact was immediate, beating both Portugal and Belgium, the only bad point was injury to Alex Cropley at Pittodrie in the Belgium game and he was replaced by Kenny Dalglish making his Scottish debut for the full national team.

he could laugh at himself too. Mind the time when he was on off the ball, and Cowan read out the question, what have Billy Connolly and Tommy Docherty got in common,,,,.......,,,,, the answer of course is they’ve both been in Mrs Brown.

[heretoday]

He was most successful coaching young players, especially at Chelsea. He was a better comedian than manager.

I was at at Hampden that night to see the English born players Alex Cropley and Bob Wilson make their debuts and a brilliant display from Billy Bremner and Scotland
