Played against him for my junior school. He was so much better than anyone else. Does anyone else consider that his carrer was actually damaged by going to Leeds? I suspect he was bought by them as a replacement for Norman Hunter, but Hunter went on for many more years. Therefore, Cherry was considered to be somewhat of a utility back, rather than a specialist left-sided centre back. The latter was undoubtedly his best position. He was also classy with Town, but was taught bad habits by Don Revie. Seriously?!! I'd say that 486 games for Leeds and captaining England suggests otherwise...
I love reading all the stuff you post MT, stuff that I have never seen nor read before, Beautiful snippets of history.
Bit off Topic (Cherry wise) but just wondering where our Welsh Internationals originated from, I take it Dick Kriz and Ray Mielczak were surely sons of Poles or Czechs ?

Probably the last Huddersfield born player to play for England at full international level.

Correct - both born to Polish parents. Ray Mielczarek also had Luxembourgian blood in his veins.

Fraizer Campbell has got 1 cap. Has he? Full international? Yes. "On 23 February 2012, despite only scoring six league goals in four years, Campbell received his first call-up to the England squad for the friendly versus the Netherlands. Interim England manager Stuart Pearce had stated his ambitions to select untried young players for the friendly which would take place on 29 February. Pearce had given Campbell all 14 of his under-21 caps. Campbell made his debut as a substitute for Danny Welbeck in the 80th minute, as England lost 3–2 due to an injury-time game-winning goal by Arjen Robben."

The first name I would look for on the team sheet. Knew we'd be alright if Trevor Cherry was playing. Played up front as well in the Second Division Championship season - and scored goals! RIP Trevor Scored in the League Cup semi first leg at Highbury. On TV too, midweek night.

RIP Trevor Cherry. One of the best I’ve ever seen play for Town. As others have said, a very cultured player who read the game brilliantly. He was capable of playing the hard and cynical stuff when it was justified. Made him ideal for Leeds! He was an adequate emergency centre forward as well.
Those match reports and pics look good MT 😀

Was just discussing this with my dad who is gutted. He informed me that he played against Cherry at U11s whilst at primary school and then also at secondary school. I asked him whether when he said he ‘played’ against him he actually meant he was outplayed by him which he just laughed at. I took that as a yes.

RIP Trevor, one of our best. His partnership with Big Roy held us together in that promotion season and the following year in div 1.
Scored one or two priceless goals along the way aswell.

Trevor lived in the same towns as me in the 70s " MIRFIELD " and was without doubt one of the most down to earth top flight footballers i have ever met .
He would alway stop for a chat even if in a hurry , and would do the same for anybody in what was a small market town that had a massive H T F C fanbase at the time
Trevor also owned a cardboard business at the time in the Battyeford area .
I remember the days in the top flight 70s when fans and all the team including Trevor would be clearing two foot of snow off the old leeds road car park so they could train before the match , and that would be unimaginable today in any of the leagues
The fans would then go shovel all the snow off the pitch so the match could start ,and be rewarded with a cup of hot oxo and a warm pie.
Another Mirfield boy was his mate town legend Geoff Hutt who seem to spend alot of his time in Mirfields Old Bank W M C , and yet another 70s top flight player who had time for everybody wanting to chat about fo
R I P Trevor and thank you for al those amazing memories .

Collapsed and died today Had made a good recovery from cancer and was out walking.A golfing chum of mine and always a modest friendly guy.RIP Was at college and played football with his son, so met him a few times whilst he was manager at Bradford. Came across as a lovely bloke and was always there as a father not a football manager even if the opposition did think he was scouting them 😂

A bit left field this post on this thread but he was the manager at the time...
If anyone interested, Gabby Yorath’s documentary ‘One day in May’ about the Bradford City fire is on BT Sport at 9 tonight on its 35th anniversary. It’s not a new programme but it is a very good watch about that terrible tragedy.
Peter Jackson gets a big interview in it as well.

Sorry - for clarification, I'm saying that they don't make the same noises, or perhaps get the same coverage as... well... Let's just say... a certain north-western club...

Let's just say... a certain north-western club... You're a disgrace.. If they hadn't made "noises" then the South Yorkshire police and the Sun's version would still be the narrative now and justice in a court of law wouldn't have been served. If it had been your daughter unlawfully killed would you have not fought for this to have been reflected in a court of law?
