Reggie Greenwood Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Adored by most Man U fans , pretty much despised by most Rams. RIP Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab a dab doo Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 He systematically destroyed a decent team at Derby and replace it with mostly dross. It was the start of our demise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealhantsram Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Ran into him a few years ago at Stockport station. I think he lived nearby. I didn't feel the need to get a selfie. (PS. For the young uns... Docherty was our generations' Rowett - instead of binning off Will Hughes, think Archie Gemill instead) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Roller coaster life. played alongside shankly and finney well respected for building great swashbuckling young teams at Chelsea and man utd but crashed and burned everywhere else including Derby a fiery character who mellowed and had many anecdotes and stories to tell. Was never suited to damaging Derby County and ultimately he hastened our decline. Not one of George Hardy’s finest moves. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I noticed the tributes on social media were largely from people who know he was Derby manager, but are of a younger generation who don't really know much about him...

richinspain Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Hated his spell as our manager, though his photo did help improve my aim at darts incredibly. Even so , very sad news. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zag zig Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Sad news. Although he pretty much destroyed my childhood dreams as a Derby fan and I never forgave what he did to our club with the bizarre churn of class players to bang ordinary ones, I’ll say R.I.P to a fellow human being and football man.

Dean (hick) Saunders Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 More like Pearson than Rowett as he seemed determined to get rid of the old guard and do things differently.

hintonsboots Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 RIP Doc. Didn't do even an average job at the BBG, considering the team he inherited. Also in charge of the team that beat us 2-0 in the FA Cup Semi in 1976, a season when I thought we’d win it. Did tell one of my favourite jokes at a sportsman’s dinner though. The Doc was driving to a Forest v Utd game as a pundit for the BBC, and got horribly lost in the streets of Nottingham. On stopping to ask directions, he was told to “ Follow the crowds”. I drove for another 10 minutes before I Ducking ended up in Tesco’s car park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
