Trevor John Cherry (born 23 February 1948) is a former England and Leeds United footballer who also captained his country. He was a defender who also played for Huddersfield Town and Bradford City, and managed the latter club.
Born in Huddersfield, England, educated Stile Common Junior School, Newsome, Huddersfield and encouraged with his football by headmaster Wally Heap, Cherry started at his hometown team before he made his name at Leeds United during the 1970s. He won a total of 27 international caps and became just the third England international to be shown the red card.
Born in Huddersfield, England, Cherry joined his hometown club Huddersfield Town as part of the groundstaff in July 1963 as a 15-year-old from the Huddersfield YMCA, before signing a full-time professional contract in 1965. He quickly established himself as a useful and inspirational defender who could play anywhere across the back line. Cherry helped Huddersfield win the Second Division title in the 1969–70 season as captain. They were relegated after two seasons in the top flight and Cherry left for local rivals Leeds United.
Cherry—along with team-mate Roy Ellam—earned a dream move along the M62 in 1972 when Leeds paid £100,000 to Huddersfield for his services. With the veteran Jack Charlton at the point of retirement, Leeds manager Don Revie needed to find someone to step readily into his defence for when Charlton quit.
