Kop Quote

David Johnson on his nickname - Doc

"That was thanks to Terry Mac. In those days a dressing room was a dressing room, there wasn't all the mod cons that are there now, so you took your own bag in there with all your own shaving gear, shampoo, hair brush and stuff like that. Well I always used to suffer from a sore throat, so there was usually strepsils or tunes or some sort of potion in my bag, and everyone used to go to my bag to use my gear - no-one ever brought their own, they just used to use mine - and Terry Mac went in there one time and took out all these pills and stuff, and said "it's like a flipping doctors bag' or words to that effect" he laughs - no doubt at the mere suggestion of Terry Mac using the word 'flipping' - "and after that it just stuck. Even Joe Fagan and Ronnie Moran took the mickey, and if we were travelling away anywhere they'd always give me all the headache tablets and things and if anyone had anything wrong with them they'd always come to me."

Liverpool supporters are surrounded by story

11 February 2026

Liverpool supporters are surrounded by story. Some of it is true, some of it is close enough to feel true, and some of it has been repeated so often that it becomes part of the club’s folklore. The problem is that folklore flattens detail. It turns whole seasons into a single night, and whole careers into a single goal.
