  Agnes Docherty was the original footballer's wife. She was married to Tommy Docherty, one of the most memorable managers in British footballing history, a frequently controversial figure in the sport. In 1977, Agnes' fairytale life came crashing down around her when it emerged that her husband was having an affair. Agnes had supported her husband loyally, brought up their four children and helped him to reach the pinnacle of his cut-throat career. Her story is told by her son, Tom, through the notes and diaries she left and they create a heart-warming tale of love and laughter and unflinchingly reveal the truth about the pressure and betrayal that broke the Docherty family apart.
