A biography for Matt Dohertyhasn’t been written yet.
“I feel embarrassed at times when I come off the pitch because we are losing games and not scoring goals and conceding goals. It's not nice.”
“Look, I want to play as many games as I can, and I want to contribute in a positive way as much as I can.”
“I am a professional and when I go out there with the badge on, that's all I'm thinking about. Everything else is in the past. Tottenham is what it is for me now.”
“You have to try and take games by the scruff of the neck... you can't mollycoddle everyone.”
“Management is something I'd like to do in the future, so I look at the different ways of training, the routines.”
“I can't just rot away... If I stay at Wolves obviously I have to play.”
“I might look back and think, 'was I really that bad?'”
“I scored an own goal against Leicester and when you do that you start to think about things and question yourself.”
“I've survived a lot of managers, so I must have been doing something right.”
“I want to know how I'm doing and contributing. If anyone says they don't... they're lying.”
“People have just got to do it themselves in their own minds, believe when they get the chance they are going to score. You have to have no doubt about it at all.”
“I always feel that I can make a difference; that I can help if I'm on the pitch.”
“You could say I've not been the same player for Ireland as I have in the Premier League.”
“My left foot is not the strongest but I can be clever by going round somebody or using the right side of my foot.”
“I was at Hibs and I didn't enjoy it that much but I had to live on my own, fend for myself and I learned how to do that.”
“I don't play right wing now but I am up and down the right wing a lot at club football. I know it would be a lot different but when I was younger I played there so I don't think I'd be uncomfortable playing there.”
“The step up from the Championship is really big and at the beginning I had a few performances that weren't great.”
“Whenever I say anything, I don't lie.”
“Yes, I might have been the only person to have been with two teams that have gone down in the one season.”
“When you were away with Ireland, you didn't really have that much coaching. It was more of five-a-side, or 11-a-side game, and that would be it.”
