    Whenever I think of him, I think of his, "Home before the postcards" line.

    Tommy Docherty was also famous for saying he'd "had more clubs than Jack Nicklaus" ....... and quipped he was the only boss sacked for falling in love.


    A true character in the game. RIP



    Edit: I don't know what's happened to the font size. Sorry.

    They were different managers, but I remember always enjoying listening to Clough and Docherty being interviewed. They lit up the game in their time.

    RIP

    Remembered by many older United fans as the manager during one of the most enjoyable periods of the club’s history.

    Remember you and your young, emerging Chelsea team strolling to a 3-0 win in the 4th Round of the FA Cup at The Valley during the big freeze of '63.

    Then, that summer you nicked the wonderful Marvin Hinton from us for thirty five grand.

    RIP Tommy.

    RIP a real character as others have said. Remember in the 70's going to a QPR v Spurs game, and the Spurs fans were singing, 

    Whose up Mary Brown
    Whose up Mary Brown
    Tommy Tommy Docherty

    To which he got up from the sunken dug out and gave the spurs fans a big thanks, which they all cheered.

    Cos he got up and acknowledged them, the Spurs fans left him alone and turned their attention on Stan Bowles instead.

    I recently watched the full 90 minutes of the Preston NE v WBA 1954 FA Cup Final on DVD. Tommy Docherty stood out in the game and was a much better player than I expected. A ball playing midfielder and a very good passer. RIP.

    He was a very sharp character.
    TBF if you ask your coach to give some of the lads extra training in the afternoon while paying a visit to his wife your days will probably be numbered.

    But it wasn't just a fling for Tommy or Mrs Brown and they were together for many decades.

    I loved listening to Tommy Docherty and on all accounts he was a top footballer as well as a top manager.

    RIP Tommy Doc.

    When ever I was in my Jack Dee mindset I would use this line. Never realized it was from Tommy Docherty.
