I have a cracking picture from the examiners yester years pages from a year or two ago which I saved, Stile Common under 11 cup winners 1959.
I saved it because my Dad is on the team along with Cherry, What makes the picture good is the Goalie sporting national health specs, Obviously from the days of " your shit your the Keeper "
No idea what colours they wore but their shirts are halved,,, Any old boys know ?
I always found Cherry okay and I suppose those that were a bit meh towards him was simply from him going to Leeds ?

Hi Teddy -I trust you are ok- it is true as we are in the same friends group but I take your point.Like me a member of Woodsome Golf club, who are all shocked at the news.He fought and won a very brave cancer battle just over a year ago and was back playing golf at his competitive best.Never a man to even mention his achievements on the pitch- 26 England caps and heaven knows how many club honours- A true Huddersfield legend and wonderfully modest man.

Now confirmed on BBC, very sad news, when Trevor lived in Almondbury he would come & watch the school matches with his kids & Steve Smith was with him sometimes, it was great to see them clapping & encouraging while we were playing, he got some stick for been a dirty L33ds player, but then pointed out he was Huddersfield born & bred which meant he was be a lifelong Town fan.....RIP LEGEND.

RIP Trevor Cherry. Remember him often waiting at the gates of Battyeford school to pick up Darren and Ian...probably 40 years ago now. Never saw him play for Town. Do remember watching him playing for England...no idea who he played league football for at the time though...

Sad news, local lad and stalwart of the Town side that won promotion and played in the top flight. Classy defender, died only a few days after Norman Hunter.

Very sad to hear this. I lived just around the corner from him when I was a kid & used to see him going to the corner shop until he moved. Played in my first ever Town match.

Had a holiday job at the old Harry Fentons and he came in before a West Riding cup match (we won 5-0 that evening). Polite, friendly personable. RIP.
