Same for me. My dad watched Doc's side home and away and still gets nostalgic about that team, even in the second division.Not my era but my Dad always spoke very fondly of following Utd under him. Good knock but sad to hear.
A little team that played with abandon. Not strong enough to win the league but gave us a lot of pleasureSad to hear it. Tommy was a rogue, to put it politely but he was boss when I started following United and put together a very exciting team. Guys like Gordon Hill, Steve Coppell, the Greenhofs, Sammy McIlroy, Martin Buchan, Gary Bailey, Stuart Pearson, Lou Macari.....God once you start writing, the memories really come rolling back. RIP Tommy.
What made him a rogue then? Any good stories? Before my time unfortunately, rest his soul.Sad to hear it.

There's a legion, most famously, the revelation a couple of weeks after the 77 Cup win that he was having an affair with the wife of our physio.What made him a rogue then? Any good stories? Before my time unfortunately, rest his soul.

United would not have been relegated had he had a little bit more time. He was building a good team.My first United manager.
Relegation, promotion, Cup Final defeat, Cup Final victory - great attacking play with 2 wingers, quick witted and so many stories.
Oh and more clubs than Jack Nicklaus
RIP Doc
Haha yeah that's probably not the wisest in terms of team morale, oops!There's a legion, most famously, the revelation a couple of weeks after the 77 Cup win that he was having an affair with the wife of our physio.
Same here,My teams manager when I started supporting United. Often missed in the conversation about us playing "the United Way".
His team did.
Absolutely agree. United were such a thrilling watch in those three seasons.Same here,
I still hold that 2nd division promotion season and the couple of seasons that followed, were some of my favourites ever following United.
The Doc era was a fantastic time to be a Red.
I absolutely believe we'd have won the league under The Doc, and how different might history have been for Liverpool if we had..?
