MATCH QUOTES

“First Division, 1971. “That’s my promise. “I don’t offer just a hanging on existence in the first division. “I foresee cups, championships, Europe. “The good times all over again.” Pre match, Tommy Docherty. "They played the right sort of away game, including time-wasting for which I don't blame them. “My boys know that today's performance wasn't good enough without any rockets from me. “Rioch has a great future. He confirmed everything I thought of him when I made the signing." Post match, Tommy Docherty.
