Allan Fotheringham was a Canadian newspaper and magazine journalist. He was widely known by the nickname Dr. Foth and styled himself as, "Always controversial... never aat a loss for words" and also as "the Great Gatheringfroth". Fotheringham was born in Hearne, Saskatchewan. His father died when he was two, and his mother re-married, with Allan taking his stepfather's surname Fotheringham. He attended Chilliwack Secondary School, where he was active in student leadership. Upon graduation he studied English and political science at the University of British Columbia and worked at a variety of media outlets during his career. He was best known as a columnist, originally at the Ubyssey, a student newspaper. He was hired straight out of university by the Vancouver Sun during the heady times of the late 1960s, the final days of the old Bennett Socreds provincially and the advent of Pierre Trudeau federally. Fotheringham's columns and commentaries brought him national attention as well as wider syndication and a broader subject base. He was one of the leading specialists in explaining the world of British Columbia politics during his time at the Sun.
