Apologies, in my futile attempts to take the mick out of posts with the names of random managers 'who could do a job for us', I perhaps should have gone for a younger better known name.

 

Nonsense. It allowed me to look up some of his best lines. 

 

In addition to the one I posted earlier...

 

If that lad makes the First Division then I am Mao-Tse-Tung

 

Cricket is the only game where you can actually put on weight while playing

 

Somebody compared him to Billy McNeil, but I don't remember Billy being crap.

 

He can't run, he can't tackle, and he can't head the ball. The only time he goes forward is for the tossup

Anyone recall who this was about?

The Doc managed my mate for a season at Rotherham, (1967/68). Doc said he'd got a suit for every day of the week, my mate replied, so have I, it's a grey one.

They had a decent cup run that season, I saw them beat Villa away. At the team talk the Doc said to right back Trevor Swift, they've got a fast, tricky winger called David Wagstaffe. It's his first game back after a broken rib. I want you to find out which one.

Me and my old man play this game loosely called "dead or alive"

 

You say a person, and ask the question... And funnily enough the other day my Dad said "Tommy Dochery... Dead or alive?"

 

I thought he was dead

 

(For the record it helps if they are obscure, yet famous. We both know Auntie Dorothy is dead... At least I think she is?)
