Tommy Docherty RIP

I agree that he was always respectful about Saints performance in 1976 and a man with a lot of humour.

That said, I can remember the chant...'Docherty shut your mouth 'cause the cup is coming south, la la la- la la-la la la that was sung on the terraces prior to the Cup Final.
(wish I recount where the melody originated from)

As you say, very respectful after ‘76. 
 

Saw him doing a couple of after dinner things, was a pretty funny guy. 

Saw him at the 30th Anniversary of Saints winning the cup dinner in the Guildhall, very humble and funny. Him are Lawrie, seemed like good mates. RIP

Thinking that things were better in the "good old days" is a sign of getting old but the Doc in my opinion was much more preferable to the likes of Pep, Jose and Klopp. Humorous when interviewed and gracious in defeat he was a good manager in less demanding times. Sad to see him go.

Unbelievable to think he got Manchester United relegated & kept his job, but as you say, different times.
