Palace gave Manyoo a thumping at Selhurst, and The Doc was appointed Manager at Manyoo, after the game, in the Selhurst Boardrooms.

Lost the Managers position at Manyoo (and his wife) when he was caught banging the club physiotherapist's wife.

He said of his Manyoo sacking, "When one door shuts, anther door slams in your face"

He had some of the better one liners from football people.
He was watching a player whose chairman asked
“What do you think of him? Half a million wouldn’t buy him”
“Aye. And I’m one of them”
Also his line to a now forgotten player
“Your speed is deceptive, son. You’re slower than you look”.

Managed 8 league clubs in this country and also Scotland.
Managed Porto and also in Australia - My brother who was in Sydney at the time talked about Docherty when he managed Sydney Olympic.

He had some wonderful one-liners!

Passed away at the age of 92. 90+2 years added-on time!

Thoughts go out to all his family and friends.
RIP.

He said it to/about Ray Wilkins : )
Had the pleasure to meet him in Crystals at a Palace night when Ron was Chairman. A very funny after dinner speech.

When Doug Ellis said, "Don't worry, Tommy, I am right behind you," Docherty replied, "I would rather have you in front of me, Mr Chairman."

Sad how the beeb, respected his passing, seeing how he was manager of their lovevhild manure, BUT, have now dropped him down the list, due to his anti bbc quips, funny that.
