Soccer: Docherty says book caused Stam move

Former Manchester United manager Tommy Docherty has said he is convinced Jaap Stam’s sudden move to Lazio is a direct result of his controversial autobiography, which was published two weeks ago.

In the book, the 29-year-old Dutchman claims Alex Ferguson tapped him up, he criticises the club’s withdrawal from last year’s FA Cup and he takes swipes at his fellow players.
