Docherty Books |
Docherty
took over as manager of United in 1972. He brought an exciting
style of football to the club. His attacking formation won
the fans over and Old Trafford was buzzing again. Sadly in
1974, he couldn't stop the team from the drop to the second
division, but only a season later, the Reds were in the top
flight again and The Doc led his team out in the 1976 FA Cup
Final. Although there was heartache with a shock defeat to
Southampton, the following year in 1977, United beat Liverpool
in the FA Cup final. Only two months later, Docherty would
be sacked as the boss of United for having an affair with
the physio's wife. |

This
book is subtitled "The Controversial and Colourful
Life of One of Football's Most Dominant Personalities"
and that suggests that the content will dig deep into
the many faces of the Doc. We haven't yet seen a copy
but it does get excellent reviews. |

This
is an excellent account of the exciting years of Tommy
Docherty's reign as manager of Manchester United, A
big book appropriate for a big character. The only manager
since the War to see his team relegated but he bounced
back with typical flair to create a chapter which United
fans will long remember and cherish. An excellent, detailed
book. |

is definitely not the usual bitter rant by an ex-wife
who has been let down by her husband. Tommy Dochrty
ended his marriage and his spell as Manchester United's
manager by walking out on his wife Agnes and this
is her story, but toldmore than 5 years after her
death. Her son Tom has used her notes and diaries
to put together her poignant story. |

The Doc - Hallowed Be Thy Game |
By
Tommy Docherty |
Publishers
Headline |
2006 |
The
Doc' is one of the most colourful characters in football.
Always outspoken and honest, headlines have followed him throughout
his career. He achieved success on the pitch with Preston
and Scotland but it is as a manager that he secured his place
in football history. The remark that he has had more clubs
than Jack Nicklaus cannot be disputed: fourteen teams in four
different countries. He resigned from Chelsea; he was sacked
by Manchester United within two weeks of winning the 1977
FA Cup and at Derby he became embroiled in a bitter legal
dispute. Now, for the first time, the Doc tells all about
his life in football and those he has shared it with - Shankly,
Busby, Clough, Ramsey, Stein. This is a story like no other,
from one of the biggest personalities of the game. Released
in October 2006. |
