Docherty on way again
NZPA-Reuter London . The noted soccer manager, Tommy Docherty, yesterday left the English second division side, Queen’s Park Rangers — less than a year after joining it for the second time. Docherty said that the club had mutually agreed for him to leave “forthwith,” a club spokesman said. The controversial Scot managed the London club for 28 days in 1968 but left
after a disagreement with the chairman, Jim Gregory. Manchester United, one of the much-travelled Docherty’s previous clubs, fired him a few weeks after he took it to victory in the 1977 F.A. Cup final when it became known he had left his wife for the club physiotherapist’s wife. Docherty, aged 51, once said of his managerial career: “I’ve had more clubs 'than Jack Nicklaus.”
