I can't think of any players commuting though. I saw Docherty, whole family dog et al, walking along The Platties in Banchory last summer (round about the start of the season) - so presumed he did live locally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarapoa Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) Brian Irvine put a bit in his book about the whole players living away from the city thing. The likes of "Silky" Hetherston were fingered and apparently his words caused a split in the dressing room, which was blamed for disharmony prior to a midweek LC defeat at Dens.

Years later, I still wonder why he didn’t just get the team bus. Maybe he cheated at cards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 What are we looking for in a striker? I reckon we'll be able to tell a lot about what variety of fast attacking football we're going to get from said striker's attributes. In much the same way as you could read how last season would go from us signing Curtis Main. Obviously commuting distance is key, but what else? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were having a meal in a restaurant in Broughty Ferry on a Saturday night after a home defeat by St Johnstone, when Tony Docherty and his family came in. I presumed that they lived in that area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player who lives out of a campervan alternating between the respective carparks at Pittodrie and Cormack Park , depending on which is the next day's workplace.
