Peter Docherty (14 February 19291957) was an English footballer who played as an outside forward in the Football League for Darlington.[1]
Docherty signed for First Division club Fulham in September 1949,[2] but he never represented them in the league, and returned to his native north-east of England and signed for Darlington a year later. Standing in for regular outside left Gordon Galley, Docherty scored on his senior debut, on 7 October 1950 in a 1–1 draw at home to Tranmere Rovers in the Third Division North. He kept his place for the next match, and made his third and final appearance in February 1951.[3]
Docherty was born in 1929 in Hebburn, which was then part of County Durham, and died in Darlington in 1957.
