John McNeil. Spent almost all of his career at Morton, save a very brief swap spell with Dundee United’s Ian Gibson. John does not have fond memories of those nanoseconds at Tannadice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Sweeney played in every position conceivable at Cappielow - he moved to Bristol City within the year. Presumably Big Joe had departed for Leeds by then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story goes that the Leeds manager was in the stand during a game at Cappielow. He turned to Hal Stewart and said "I'll give you 15 grand for your centre forward". Hal replied "Done". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, sad to hear the passing of Tommy Docherty - he was always good for a funny quote when interviewed - had a sense of humour and that always ticks the box for me. Not sure if I should mention this at his time of passing but .......... at the end of the 70s I was working in London alongside a Liverpool season ticket holder. He told me that the Saturday after the news of Tommy's affair with Mary Brown (wife of a coach at Man United?) hit the headlines Man United played Liverpool at Anfield. He said that when Tommy followed his United team out of the tunnel at Anfield the whole of the Kop was bouncing and singing (to the tune of the cockney classic "Knees up Mother Brown") ........ "Who's up Mary Brown, who's up Mary Brown, Tommy Tommy Docherty" ........... to which The Doc responded in kind with a double handed "V" salute back to the Kop. Always topical the Scousers ...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your work colleague has employed some licence I think. The news of the affair emerged in the summer after Man United had beaten Liverpool in the FA Cup final. A short while later, at the start of July, Man United sacked him. There won't have been games between the news breaking and the dismissal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Some good players in that Morton team. Collins was probably your best FB since Jim Holmes and McCahill, Reid, Lilley and Mahood all got "big money" moves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was sacked before the season started and the singing referred to happened when he was at Anfield managing Derby County....his next job after Manchester United. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
