Gary Doherty Biography

Gary Doherty is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on January 31, 1980 in Carndonagh, County Donegal, Ireland. Gary Michael Thomas Doherty (born 31 January 1980) is a retired Irish professional footballer. He was a defensive player as well as as a center forward and was awarded international awards in his country, the Republic of Ireland.

He was purchased by Luton old-boy David Pleat then Director of Football at Tottenham Hotspur for PS1million in March 2000. This player was made Spurs debut as substitute during a 3-1 defeat against Manchester United in May 2000. He was a part of the squad regularly throughout the 2000/01 season. He scored his first goal in the league against Newcastle United on 2 January 2001. Other highlights of the season included a late win with Leyton The Orient, at Leyton Orient’s FA Cup, giving his team the lead over North London rivals Arsenal in the FA Cup semi final and scoring two goals as Spurs were able to come back from 2-0 deficit away to Sunderland to take a 3-2 win. But, the next season was a disaster after he injured his leg during the course of a League Cup match against Torquay United in September, following an assault by Eifion Williams. He was back before the close of the season, but struggled to get back into the team.

At Norwich City his career started well, with him having a regular place at the heart of the defence, but he lost his place in February to Jason Shackell and Norwich were eventually relegated. The following season, however, saw Doherty established as a regular choice at centre-back and his form and consistency improved considerably. Although Norwich had a difficult and disappointing 2005–06 season, the supporters recognised Doherty’s contribution by voting him Norwich City player of the year.

During the Canaries’ 2008–09 pre-season tour, Doherty picked up an ankle injury that ruled him out for the first three months of the season. Having returned to the side, he scored his first league goal for more than three years on Boxing Day 2008 in a 3–1 defeat to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Doherty mostly was a forward in the country, and made the international squad in the match against Greece during April of 2000. He was making his way to regular player when he suffered a leg injury in the month of September 2001. He was able to recover in April 2002 and scored the first goal of his international career in a game against his country, the United States, but he was not selected to play in 2003 FIFA World Cup finals. Doherty was back in the squad in Ireland’s shaky Euro 2004 qualifying campaign, which he scored the most goals in scoring with 3 goals. He was a centre-half player numerous times for Ireland
