"If you hung 11 Villa shirts on a washing line five thousand fans would turn up to watch them.” Tommy Docherty 1968

"We'd rather watch 11 Villa shirts on a washing line." The Holte End 2016

I'd rather see Tommy Docherty hanging from a washing line
And, it was 30,000 fans wasn't it?

10,000 is the figure that has always been in my head.
I think the figure was 10000 but obviously never been proven.

How small you writing it too fit all that on?

We're not fickle.
We just want a bit more than 3 wins all season.
I have seen all 3 this season Something to tell my Grand kids! I am going to mention that we won all 3 without conceding a goal.

Every search I did returned 5000 as the number.

No 11 on this list for example.

Regardless the sentiment's the same.

As an aside Docherty did get 2 things right.

He apparently predicted we'd compete in the European Cup just before he got the boot in '70 and in the 90's said that Man Utd were on their way to no longer being a football club and more a giant fruit machine.

Number 6 seems pretty relevant at the moment, too!

As does no 8.

I quite like no 18 and no 20.
Apart from the fact that he never saw McNeill as a manager obviously.

Now I'm feeling peckish. Anyone fancy a Chinese?

The link again.
