On the Peter Doherty point. I spoke to an elderly gentleman in a pub in Didsbury a couple of years back who'd seen Doherty play a few times (and he wasn't a blue or a rag). He couldn't speak highly enough about him reckoned he was one of the best 2 or 3 players he'd ever seen.
For what it’s worth to this debate, my father, a lifetime Blue - who, alas, did not live to see the post-takeover sides - was a big, big fan of Colin Bell but still maintained that Peter Doherty was the best he’d ever seen in a City shirt.
