I am not talking about consistency and your right even Bobby Charlton said best would blow hot and cold. But the pes stats show best was a more talented player than Doherty.

Shame you're not talking consistency cause its what professional sports is all about. The pes stats would likely show a street juggler would give Best a ten break but obviously that dont mean anything on an english professional pitch.

My father always rated Doherty as the best ever and he was a Wolves fan.

Mind you Billy Wright did once ask my mother to go out with him. My father was in RAF training at the time in Canada. She turned Billy down and married my father after he was demobbed,

Billy Wright eventually married Joy Beverely (one of the Beverley Sisters) some years later.

Did your father see Tom Finney play?

Yes but he couldn’t stand Finney or ‘big headed Tom’ as he called him.

Couldn't objectively rate him as a player then . First i have heard of Finney been big headed . He was by all accounts
a very humble man.
 
My old fella ( 75 ) can’t remember him playing but yes my Grandad used to say he was the best he had ever seen
 
Last game at Maine road I think they interviewed an old fella who had supported City his whole life
They asked the best player he had seen

he said he had 2 he couldn’t split, Doherty and Bell

I am not surprised as Doherty last played fir City in 1939. That is nearly 83 years ago!
 
It's obviously an age thing, but I recall the programmes from the mid 70s when the "old codgers" would reminisce over players from the black-and-white-cloth-cap mid 30s such as Doherty, Tilson, and Brook.

Now I'm older I can appreciate that it's no different than me reminiscing over Corrigan, Tueart, and Hartford
