From a fireside armchair at his home on the edge of the Peak District, Tommy Docherty would regale visitors with a stream of fine stories, and they often revolved around things he got wrong.
'Should never have gone to Rotherham', he would say. 'Should never have gone to Australia' or 'Should never have left the Scotland job'.
He would confess to his flaws and curse his own impatience. 'Aye that's one of my weaknesses,' he would say.
Tommy Docherty guided Manchester United to their first piece of silverware post-Matt Busby, beating Liverpool to win the FA Cup at Wembley in 1977.
