Manchester United fan was given the honour at all after telling Sir Alex Ferguson to "go f*** himself." Luckily for Doherty, the iconic manager was slightly more forgiving towards the Northern Irishman than he was towards football referees back then.Doherty was the resounding underdog when he came up against Stephen Hendry in the final at The Crucible.

At that point, the Scotsman had never lost a final at Sheffield, and was undoubtedly the leading player on the planet.However, it was the man from Ranelagh who stunned everyone with an 18-12 win, becoming only the third player from outside England and Wales to become world champion.

And afterwards, he received a congratulatory call from Sir Alex himself, even if he didn't quite believe it at first."The voice at the other end went, 'Kenny, Alex Ferguson here, I know you are a big Manchester United fan, how about parading that trophy up at Old Trafford?' and I told him to go f*** himself!" he recalled, to the Daily Mail."I thought it was my mate joking!

He goes, 'Kenny, I'm not going to ask you twice, it's Alex Ferguson' and I said, 'Sorry Mr Ferguson'."
