My Take
Tommy Docherty, "The Doc," earns my full respect as a man who gave his entire life to football. A Glasgow-born player who shone at Preston North End and won 25 Scotland caps, he then managed an astonishing 13 clubs plus the national team across nearly three decades. That is not a career, it is a vocation. He was famous for a razor wit that made him as quotable off the pitch as he was shrewd on it. To me, figures like Docherty are living encyclopedias of the game, shaped by both the boots and the bench. He passed on the last day of 2020 at 92, leaving a vast legacy.
