Adrian Doherty was one of the most talented players ever to come through Manchester United’s academy. Injury would deny him the opportunity to ever make a first-team appearance, though, and his wandering spirit would take him far away from the game before his tragic death at just 26.

@M.M0709 4 жыл бұрын

I went to school with a kid who really could've been a Zlatan, Suarez or Lewandowski, he was a beast. Its quite sad actually, he'd regularly trained with the England U16s at the age of 14, he played for the Nottingham Forest academy etc.But in his mid teens he befriended the wrong crowd. By the time he was 18, he'd been released by Forest because of his off field antics. He's now serving 10yrs sentence for his role in a £1,000,000 cocaine distribution plot. It just baffles me. He had the talent but, it just seems like he enjoyed drug dealing even more.

True story of just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD. Regardless of his footballing talent, his heart lay elsewhere. Not many 16 year olds would have the stones to turn their back on the lights of the Premier League like he did. Hope he found peace before he passed.

@TheDdc76 4 жыл бұрын

I used to Watch Adrian play alongside Brendan Rodgers (Who then went to Reading) as my Older brother Captained the Moorfield FC team. I used to get brought to all their games as a child & remember how pacy & skillful Adrian was. He would torment any team on his own on his mazy runs... And you just knew the end product was going to end in a Goal. Unreal player of his generation.. and a Joy & Pleasure to have witnessed it. A quiet boy he was but did his talking on the Pitch. R.I.P Adrian.

A fellow Tyrone man told me to read this book when we were in the pub when living briefly in Canada. He told me it was a story of a young man who came from where we did who would’ve been the best player to come from here since George Best. A year later that friend tragically drowned, horribly similar to what happened to Adrian. Life is fragile. Cherish those close to you. RIP Adrian. RIP Lee.

I used to watch Adrian in the youth team at United, a family friend was the goalkeeper in that team (Ian Wilkinson, whose own story is also pretty sad from a football perspective). Adrian was easily the standout performer in that team, ahead of Ryan Giggs (or Ryan Wilson as he was known at the time), Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes, Robbie Savage, etc. David Beckham wasn't even a regular starter in that team! Such a sad story that first his career was lost to injury and then his life lost at such a young age. What could have been. RIP Doc!
