John Docherty (29 April 1940 – 4 December 2024) was a Scottish football player and manager.
Having previously been manager of Cambridge United between January 1978 and 13 December 1983 and Brentford,[1] and briefly coaching at St Clement Danes School after leaving Brentford, his spell at Cambridge United saw the club in the Second Division where they managed respectable finishes, with eighth in 1979–80 being their highest.
[6] Just before relegation was confirmed, Docherty was dismissed in favour of Bruce Rioch in February 1990.
[7] Docherty's next stop was at Bradford City, in March 1990,[7] who were relegated to the Third Division later that season.
[1] Docherty returned to Millwall during the 1996–97 season,[1] but by this stage they were in the new Division Two (the third flight of English football) and he failed to emulate his first spell as manager.
