I watched him in the 80s so I always thought of him as an 80s Doctor. 
It's so weird looking back on it now and realizing he was long gone by 
the time I started to watch.  Even in the early 90s his episodes were 
still being rerun, probably more than the later Doctors.  I think by the 
McCoy took over my local PBS station was getting them pretty close to 
the U.K. airings and that just reinforced the idea that I had always 
been watching them close to real time.
