Adrian Doherty was one of the most talented players ever to come through Manchester Unitedâs academy. Injury would deny him the opportunity to ever make a first-team appearance, though, and his wandering spirit would take him far away from the game before his tragic death at just 26.

His story shows how fragile life is. He was seen a wonderkid, nine years later he drowns on the way to work.
Sure dose never know whats around the corner
@@bakaweiner6956 Sad story but not really the same at all. He was still playing football. This guy was forgotten about by the world until tragedy happened.
Man, I just needed this video to suscribe.
Ikrđ
This spoiler shouldn't be the top comment.
Damn his life sounds like an emotional and tragic movie. I think a movie should be made on his life..I think his story deserves a greater audience and more people should know about him.
Trueđđ
I'm from derry and my old R.E teacher was best friends with Adrian's brother and told us his story a few years ago apparently he was far happier after his injury as he didn't enjoy football anymore. So at least there's a small upside to the story.
John McLaughlin same. His brother was my music teacher
Same, his cousin was my driving instructor
Same his dad was our local postman
Same, his uncle was my english tutor.
Same, his nephew was my cell mate in C wing.
Iâm a die-hard Chelsea fan but Tifo football will make you a fan of any club while watching a video đđŸââïžđđ
true i agree :) The video on iniesta was perhaps best i have ever seen on football and am not a barca fan at all.
sankalp nanda âthe day iniesta finally made senseâ... that was awesome đđŸ
Bruh for real lmao
@@youngforeign8197 yes đ
not true fans then are we....
What an incredible channel
Unreal !!
Svalbaz Games it really is, I love the historic stories about anything: players, stadia, events, etc. Itâs truly, truly great.
đŻđŻđŻđŻđŻđŻđŻđŻ
Didn't know Tifo were cutting onions this morning on their channel
so many heartbreaking "could have been" stories.
So true but that's life. If you think about it, there are also 'reverse' 'could've been' stories but I don't know the correct term tho. Just like Andrew Robertson. A CL winner with a past almost nobody knew.
Duncan Edwards, could've been Manchester Uniteds greatest ever player,
That's how pyramid system works.
Only exceptional athlete could breakthrough even only to make it to the first team line up. Let alone shaking the world.
But those who failed are multi thousands.
Pascal Ballou Ravel Morrison comes to mind.
@@Ese96Agoaye yeah and most recently, abdelhak nouri :(
Such a tragic story. Sounds like a lad like him deserved so much more in life and in death, but these stories just remind you on how unpredictable and how unfair life is.
Nothing is more tragic than a waste of talent. I forgot who said it. But so true
For every Ryan Giggs or Raheem Sterling, there are 10 Adrian Doherty's. Kids with massive potential, but never make it due to injury or otherwise and fade into obscurity.
I went to school with a kid who really could've been a Zlatan, Suarez or Lewandowski, he was a beast. Its quite sad actually, he'd regularly trained with the England U16s at the age of 14, he played for the Nottingham Forest academy etc.But in his mid teens he befriended the wrong crowd. By the time he was 18, he'd been released by Forest because of his off field antics. He's now serving 10yrs sentence for his role in a ÂŁ1,000,000 cocaine distribution plot. It just baffles me. He had the talent but, it just seems like he enjoyed drug dealing even more.
Well said..
@@M.M0709 Like Tevez's best friend
leave raheem out mate giggs was on another level
If you look further into his story, he was actually better than Giggs. I do understand what you mean though, just sounded like you are belittling the actual talent this guy had.
I'm from Strabane and have heard the stories of Adrian from my dad and granda. Such a sad story. Mad to think what he'd have become without the injury even though he was generally happy off the pitch. Thanks for this video.
no joke, one of the best tifo videos ive ever seen
Knees are incredible, I was told I sprained mine when I was 15 and to rest it be fine.
A year later I failed my army medical because of it and they told me Iâd probably need surgery, went to see a knee specialist and he popped my knee out of place and then back, never had any problems since... I also never got sent to Afghanistan because I didnât join the army in the end
Knees or life is incredibly as your whole course was changed by an injury
Again, it's always nice to hear something that you never knew before, especially if it gets you thinking questions such as "What if?". I love this video, nearly brings a tear to my eye. Well done Tifo, and RIP Adrian.
I thank God for Tifo Football appearing in my life.
This story is touching, thank you for sharing this.
He could've been in the class of 92
Easily
He was probably the âforgottenâ one. There were 7 great players in the class of 92, yet only 6 played well for United. The 7th was him.
Rafael Burke?
Christopher Chan i didnt know that i thought class of 92â consists of 6 but sad story tho
@@christopherchan5245 Terry Cooke was the 7 of the class of 92 . there are pics and news on the web about him ,
This is the saddest (and most beautiful) football story I have ever heard that doesnÂŽt involve a plane crash. Thank you so much, guys.
"ÂŁ200 million: How Neymar's PSG Transfer Hyperinflated the Transfer Market and Further Accelerated the Growing Divide Between the Sport and its Working Class Fanbase"
80 million in 2009: 24 year old ballon d'or winner champions league winner, premier league golden boot, premier league champion, fa cup winner, 40 goal a season world class best player in the world Cristiano Ronaldo

@@jamesBFC1887 yeah I mean its kinda weird to think that 11 years 80 million bought you the arguable goat but now it gets you good but not a excellence cb
James Bennett-Mcnulty donât forget Newcastle were for sale at that time for roughly the same price but Ashley couldnât find a buyer. Now theyâre being sold for ÂŁ350 million.
Yes this should be done, because it was the biggest change in the transfer market since the bosman rule and the inception of the Premier League.
I am in love with all videos of this kind that tifo does. It feels amazing to know the stories of footballers. So many look upto them all over the world. Adrian Doherty's story is indeed unique, showing the possibilities of life. May his soul rest in peace.
THANK YOU TIFO.
True story of just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD. Regardless of his footballing talent, his heart lay elsewhere. Not many 16 year olds would have the stones to turn their back on the lights of the Premier League like he did. Hope he found peace before he passed.
I used to Watch Adrian play alongside Brendan Rodgers (Who then went to Reading) as my Older brother Captained the Moorfield FC team. I used to get brought to all their games as a child & remember how pacy & skillful Adrian was. He would torment any team on his own on his mazy runs... And you just knew the end product was going to end in a Goal. Unreal player of his generation.. and a Joy & Pleasure to have witnessed it. A quiet boy he was but did his talking on the Pitch. R.I.P Adrian.
This is an incredible video, even by Tifo's standard. Brilliant job
A fellow Tyrone man told me to read this book when we were in the pub when living briefly in Canada. He told me it was a story of a young man who came from where we did who wouldâve been the best player to come from here since George Best. A year later that friend tragically drowned, horribly similar to what happened to Adrian. Life is fragile. Cherish those close to you. RIP Adrian. RIP Lee.
RIP Adrian..from a Liverpool fan
I used to watch Adrian in the youth team at United, a family friend was the goalkeeper in that team (Ian Wilkinson, whose own story is also pretty sad from a football perspective). Adrian was easily the standout performer in that team, ahead of Ryan Giggs (or Ryan Wilson as he was known at the time), Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes, Robbie Savage, etc. David Beckham wasn't even a regular starter in that team! Such a sad story that first his career was lost to injury and then his life lost at such a young age. What could have been. RIP Doc!
Manchester United have some unbelievable football stories.
May he RIP.
Thank you Tifo for this. This video was touching and heart breaking. Seb wrote it wonderfully. Joe sounded pretty respectful. Thank you for this
The sad truth about football and sports, you could be talented, hard-working and do everything right, but just one wrong injury and everything could end just like that. RIP Adrian Doherty
The rate at which this channel is growing is incredible. Tifo will hit 1m before the year ends, the best football content on the internet
Cried RIP Adrian đđđđđđ You will always be remembered from now on
His life story is great yet full of tragedy. Some one should make a movie because it would be wonderful.
Sad story. I love your graphical style of these videos. Glad you made this one, to remember this young man.
What a special day to produce this clip something awesome to watch .... itâs an early birthday gift from Tifo , for me and Adrian since we share a birthday 10 June
This is the sweetest video you've made. Thank you tifosis
I read the book and its soo heartbreaking. Thank you for making that video â€ïž
This story truly touched me, tifo football you are amazing. Rest in peace Adrian â€ïž
A great tribute to the late Mr. Doherty, whom I wish I'd heard/known about earlier in my own life. Thanks, Tifo. Much love and respect.
I'm a united fan but making it in football is not the only thing in the world. He sounds a talented lad and a great young man who deserves to be remembered for what he did in life not for what he didn't.
Such a beautiful story đđŒ Thank you tifo for sharing stories like these!
I feel like crying. What a story
This was a beautiful video. Devastating. The beauty of football and art bound together for such an insignificant life that could've meant so much but instead meant more. Thank God he didn't go unnoticed. Do a thing on Ben Thornley, another great United Class of '92 prospect for whom injury ruined everything.
Brilliant work. Thank you for this â€
Such a sad story, couldn't watch on without welling up at the end. Have to read the book now.
Poor lad, such a shame what could've been with Him and Giggsy tearing it apart on both wings. RIP Adrian.
oooh I am crying, so touching >> RIP Doh
A very touching and tragic story, I was reading the newspaper when the video came on, now I'm contemplating life. I need change in my life.
the best video tifo has done cheers
Beautifully made video as always Tifo!!
Best Tifo Iâve seen. Unreal.
He sounds like a very lovely person and a cool dude
What an incredible, heart breaking story. Thanks for sharing.
This is a SUPERB video. Great job guys.
I read this book a few years ago, it's an incredible read. Very informative & sad story, would have loved to see him play
He must have been such a fascinating young man to have met and spoken to. Such a shame
A beautiful story telling for such a tragic story đ well done tifo
Well done everyone involved in making this video. One of your very best. What a talented and interesting man Adrian Doherty must have been RIP.
Made me cry...
What an elegant and emotive video
What a wonderful soul he was
A movie waiting to be made RIP lad â€ïž
What a lovely homage, well done to you đ
Quality content as always, you guys truly are a bright spot in the dreary and subpar world of journalism.
This made me cry
Been a fan of United since forever but I just heard of Doherty's tale. What tragic short life but I hope only the best for him in the afterlife.
Why am I crying??? Thank you for telling this story
Powerful story - this is journalism in itâs purest form
A great tribute to what sounds like a wonderful young man taken too soon â€ïž
A brilliant youtube channel, canât believe It took me this long to subscribe
Wow
As a united fan that was quite astounding for me...... Its weird how football has its fair share of dark and unimaginable secrets.
Never knew the story of Adrian, Great Vid! Thanks for putting it together!
Excellent Tifo, very interesting and god bless Adrian Doherty
Great video guys, as always.
After seeing the comments from Luke Chadwick about how the constant scrutiny affected his mental health. I can't help but think how difficult it must be to have books/videos/articles about your 'failures'. Especially when your peers has been so successful in their field.
Possible. This is what happened to Bojan in Barcelona, he broke a ton of records at youth level and everyone expected him to perform as well as Messi, the pressure was too much and he couldn't handle it
What a tribute guys!
Such a sad story in many ways. God bless him.
Wow. Goosebumps
I never knew any of this what an amazing kid and young man so sad the ending what could have been rest in peace young man you are a great loss but your soul is in a better place
A tragic story, and one which shows the fragility of life and football careers
what a great story, tifo cutting onions on this one
Thank you for creating this
Rest in peace Beautiful soul đđŒ
simply the best football channel!đ„
Thanks for telling this story đđŒ
Iâm from Tyrone đźđȘâȘïžđŽ heâs definitely the best player to come out of the county
( in football/soccer not gaa or then itâs peter Canavan)
Yeah same here.
Apart from Peter Canavan! And that's coming from a Dub
Yes he is
s99bf0c8 Canavan is definitely the best sportsman to come out of Tyrone, but I mean football not gaa
Sounded like a great lad. RIP.
wow, i canât believe this. truly, heartbreaking.
Cracking video guys
It was the first time I shed a tear while watching your video
what a fucking spine tingling story. this channel has somehow made my hair stand on end, epic work guys, really did him proud.
This is the most amazing story wow
Lovely story. Thanks guys.
Can you make a video on the life of a football scout, and what they use to search for players (websites etc) thank you
I don't care much for the tactical videos or the sensible transfer series. Give me more of this content please!
A Tifo Football Brief History playlist is the best thing on CZcams
Grew in the town I live in...his sister taught me English in school and his brother who I also know, played the main stage of Glastonbury. You'll never meet an more intelligent family...I would have loved him to have play for the first team and for utd!
Happy b' day ADRIAN. May you rest in peace.
Thank you for this story
Having been to the Netherlands many times...I always wonder why they donÂŽt put handrails around most of their city water channels....I have even seen cranes taking out cars from the channels.
In AmsterdamÂŽs famous red light district they even have lifebuoys hanging from street lights that you can throw to people who fall in...but no handrails around most of the channels, specially those where there are houseboats...truly bizarre
Glory Glory Adrian Doherty
How terribly sad. RIP Adrian
He was just like me as a kid. Loved music, bright, and a great football talent but ruined by injuries. In my case, seizures and epilepsy caused by hereditary genes ruined my career.
This is superb guys
Brilliant as usual.
