Docherty's United
Welcome to this series of Short Talking Books. This volume looks back at Tommy Docherty’s years as Manchester United manager. It highlights his early years as a player, right up to him joining United. We discuss his years at the club from the disaster of relegation to the triumph of winning the F.A. Cup in 1977 to his sacking shorty after that success. We look at his style of play, and the book include profiles of the players who made their mark in his team of all talents. The book is written in conversational style. All in all, it offers a fascinating glimpse into ‘Tommy Docherty's United,’ and the legacy he left at the club.
The Doc
Outspoken and honest, 'The Doc' remains one of football's most vivid characters. He achieved success on the pitch with Preston and Scotland, yet it is as a manager that he secured his place in football history, leading no fewer than 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 reveals all about his life in the footballing world and those who have shared it - Shankly, Busby, Clough, Ramsey, Stein. This is a story like no other, from one of the biggest personalities of the game.

Tommy Doc
Tommy ‘The Doc’ Docherty was a combative Scotland international wing-half who became a brilliant but erratic manager. His 1960s Chelsea team was a glorious reflection of his colourful personality, and a decade later he reinvented his relegated Manchester United side as a vibrant attacking force. He was also, however, a hostage to his own decision-making, costing Chelsea a shot at the First Division title when he banned eight players for breaking their curfew. Most famously, he was fired by United after FA Cup glory because he’d fallen in love with the physiotherapist’s wife. He was a much-travelled manager, and ‘I’ve had more clubs than Jack Nicklaus’ was among the well-worn one-liners that created the image of ‘The Doc’ as football’s stand-up comedian. But in Tommy Doc, David Tossell looks beyond the wisecracks, interviewing Docherty himself, as well as former players and colleagues, to examine a remarkable career and reveal the personal heartaches behind the laughter.
The Doc
'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.
