Trevor Cherry
Wednesday 13 May 2020 GUERNSEY PRESS OBITUARY 23 OBITUARY Trevor Cherry by Advocate Footballer Trevor Raymond Ashton Cherry, pictured in 1981. (28247216) T IS WITH regret that I have learnt of the sad demise of my friend Trevor Cherry as a result of a massive heart attack. This makes it two former footballers who have died within a Ishort period of time. Trevor was in the same school year as myself and over the years we had become friends and only about six weeks ago my other half was with the denizens of the chairman’s suite at City in Madrid, of which Trevor was part, as a result of his friendship and business association with Mike Marshall (himself a former player). Trevor had been a regular visitor over the years to City and always had time to talk about his former colleagues at Elland Road. Indeed, I had hoped many years ago during the second coming of Malcolm Allison to persuade him to join City to give the defence more stability. Before going into detail I must say that he was a very self-effacing and modest man, unlike most footballers. There will be many tributes to Trevor but when Bradford City went into administration in the early 1980s Stafford Higginbottom, later chairman, said to me that unlike many managers he had a brain (and not just in his feet) and was very sensiblel. Prophetic words, it proved. Trevor was born in Huddersfield and was always very proud of the town (and had heard of the world-famous Choral Society) and eventually forced his way into the first team.

Nigel's Webspace News
Nigel’s Webspace News A newsletter distributed by Nigel’s Webspace, a website dedicated to the history of English football cards 1965/66 to 1979/80. A&BC World Cup stamps A&BC World Cup Footballer Stickers, also known as World Cup stamps, date from 1966/67 and are amongst the rarest and most sought after A&BC items. They can cause confusion as they look like stamps, and can therefore be listed and sold as stamps rather than stickers or cards. There were 50 to collect, though most collectors nowadays would be happy to own one or two. Due to their rarity, and the fact that they had sticky backs, they are now most often found stuck to things. Three sold recently on ebay, and the seller admitted that they had been found stuck in an old cardboard suitcase with some of the thin suitcase lining stuck to the back of the stamps. The seller said that ‘an expert may be able to remove it’. In spite of this condition, and the obvious creasing and damage to the front of the stamps, they sold for £18, £14 and £10. A good condition stamp sold recently for £40, though the next day another in very good condition sold for only £18 (a real bargain). The images shown here are not of the ones sold. Nigel’s Webspace is proud to be able to show a complete gallery of these stamps. So, the message here is obvious…. search through all of your old school books, folders, scrapbooks and other relics of your childhood and see if you have any of these stuck on your old possessions.

99 Years and Counting Errata and Addenda
Since the publication of '99 Years & Counting', author John Ward has continued to research the club statistics and has added facts missed in the book and has corrected and amended a number of inaccuracies. As you will recall, exhaustive and strenuous effort was made by the authors before the publication of “ 99 & Counting “ to record all the facts such as seasonal appearances and goalscorers, hat-tricks, penalties, and abandoned matches, etc. so as to complete the full statistical history of the club. Unfortunately, in a book that broke the usual mold for its genre, it was not to be; inevitably some facts were missed and others reported incorrectly. Furthermore, in recording more than a million numbers it was predictable that there would be inaccuracies and although some of the mistakes can be attributed to the authors many of them are printer's computer default errors. Additionally, the original drafts of the “Transfer Trails” were retyped by staff at the Galpharm Stadium in order to remove details of fees and player exchanges. The computer programme used by the club was incompatible with that of the author and the final version following the changes was not returned to the author for checking and approval and this oversight resulted in multiple errors which were not noticed before the book went into publication. In this addendum the known errors have been rectified and, after verifying sources, new facts have been added. Acknowledgements The authors wish to record their appreciation for the help given by the following in the updating of “99 & Counting“: Brian Armitage Donald Mitchell Roger Stopford Nicholas D.
