William David Doherty

He immediately entered Guy's Hospital Medical School, qualifying with the Conjoint diploma in 1920.

By the time George Doherty entered Guy's his reputation as a rugby forward was already well established.

Whilst at Dulwich College he played in an unbeaten first XV in 1909 which contained five future internationals dubbed the 'Famous Five'.

[4] These five would all go on to play in the 1913 Varsity match, (and also produced the captains of both Oxford and Cambridge in 1919), and all served in the First World War.

On his team were two of his former school teammates, CN Lowe and JE Greenwood, on the opposing side were Eric Loudoun-Shand and Graham Donald also from Dulwich.

[8] After his playing days were over, Doherty maintained a strong relationship with Guy's Hospital Rugby and served as President from 1943 to 1951.
