Doherty has been very good the last few seasons, but surely Finnan would be ahead of him based on his whole career you would think. That is unless he's talking about Gary

Just on Dougan, I found that there was a biography of him written not long ago. It was supposed to be an autobiography written with a journalist, but Dougan died not long after it started. If it is well written the subject matter should be interesting.
Sorry Baldy!

I just came across a reference to Big Norm - 55 y.o. today btw - pointing out that he's the youngest player ever to have played 200 games for Man U - not Giggs, Best or Rashford etc. Which is pretty remarkable for a 142 y.o. club with such a tradition of bringing through young players.

Theres no football happening, not even a football transfer to speak of. Cant be a surprise that this forum will go on a bit of a tangent. |

Sorry, I meant that Morgan had played alongside Dougan for NI (vs Bulgaria, 1972), since their international careers just overlapped. Anyhow, although Morgan made a living from the game, he was a journeyman who would not have been considered anything like international class had NI not been desperate for a CF in the early 70's. (We tried a few duds at that time.) But one of the reasons they were desperate was because Dougan was "done", at least at international level, as the last 21 of his 43 caps proves: 11/12/1968 Turkey........ A W 3-0 WCQ 03/05/1969 England....... H L 1-3 BC 06/05/1969 Scotland...... A D 1-1 BC 10/05/1969 Wales......... H D 0-0 BC 10/09/1969 USSR.......... H D 0-0 WCQ 22/10/1969 USSR.......... A L 0-2 WCQ 18/04/1970 Scotland...... H L 0-1 BC 21/04/1970 England....... A L 1-3 BC 11/11/1970 Spain......... A L 0-3 ECQ 03/02/1971 Cyprus........ A W 3-0 ECQ 1 Goal 21/04/1971 Cyprus........ H W 5-0 ECQ 1 Goal 15/05/1971 England....... H L 0-1 BC 18/05/1971 Scotland...... A W 1-0 BC 22/05/1971 Wales......... H W 1-0 BC 22/09/1971 USSR.......... A L 0-1 ECQ 13/10/1971 USSR.......... H D 1-1 ECQ 20/05/1972 Scotland...... H L 0-2 BC 23/05/1972 England....... A W 1-0 BC 27/05/1972 Wales......... A D 0-0 BC 18/10/1972 Bulgaria...... A L 0-3 WCQ 14/02/1973 Cyprus........ A L 0-1 WCQ The above also explains why the "incredulity" amongst NI fans which I recall was how DD could be so consistently deadly for his club, whilst misfiring consistently for his country.

I remember Sammy Morgan. He was with Aston Villa in the old second or third division as was and not a first teamer there when he replaced Dougan, who if I recall rightly was still knocking them in for Wolves at the top level, in the NI team. Sammy spent his career with clubs in the lower divisions and never looked international class. He might have made a better schoolteacher -he did try hard but there was a lot of incredulity amongst NI fans at the time that Sammy and other low level artisans were getting picked ahead of the Doog. It was the equivalent of Robbie Keane being dumped for Joe Lapira. I appreciate Dougan's assessment of Sammy was rude, if accurate, and he did indeed have problems with authority but I always liked him as a player and he was certainly good craic to have a few beers with.
