    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.

A game you might have forgotten November 8, 1980 n Leeds United 0 Arsenal 5 While Leeds fans of the modern era have fresh memories of humiliating home defeats dished out by the football colossi of Blackpool, Watford, Nottingham Forest and Preston, such a public dishonouring on our own doorstep rarely occurred during the 1960s and ’70s, even as Revie’s great side began to break up and the club descended into that murky tunnel called “transition”. That all changed, of course, when the clock ticked over into the 1980s. The visit of Arsenal found Leeds slowly finding their feet after that legendary sniffer of all things loose in the penalty area, Allan Clarke, had taken over as manager. Leeds were struggling to find the net and Clarke shored up his defence before worrying Leeds manager Allan Clarke with his assistant Martin Wilkinson. about being too expansive Eddie at the other end.

Synopsis Set in 1960’s and 1970’s England, THE DAMNED UNITED tells the confrontational and darkly humorous story of Brian Clough’s doomed 44 day tenure as manager of the reigning champions of English football Leeds United. Previously managed by his bitter rival Don Revie, and on the back of their most successful period ever as a football club, Leeds was perceived by many to represent a new aggressive and cynical style of football - an anathema to the principled yet flamboyant Brian Clough, who had achieved astonishing success as manager of Hartlepool and Derby County building teams in his own vision with trusty lieutenant Peter Taylor. Taking the Leeds job without Taylor by his side, with a changing room full of what in his mind were still Don’s boys, would lead to an unheralded examination of Clough’s belligerence and brilliance over 44 days. This is that story. The story of The Damned United. THE DAMNED UNITED stars Michael Sheen (The Deal, The Queen, Frost/Nixon) as the legendary, opinionated football manager Brian Clough with Timothy Spall (Secrets and Lies, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Sweeney Todd) as his right hand man, only friend, and crutch Peter Taylor.

They were the hottest favourites for years, considered certainties to beat their Second Division opponents, rank outsiders Sunderland. A day that should have been one of celebration and triumph ended instead with United in a trough of depression and despair. “Everything points to a United victory” read the unusually confident headline of Don Revie‟s column for the Yorkshire Evening Post the Saturday before the final. The Leeds manager was in buoyant mood, The Leeds United team wave to the crowd before the match: writing: “Leeds United‟s experience of playing at Billy Bremner, David Harvey, Paul Reaney, Johnny Giles, Wembley is likely to prove the decisive factor in next Norman Hunter, Trevor Cherry, Peter Lorimer, Eddie Gray, Saturday‟s FA Cup final against Sunderland… As far Paul Madeley, Mick Jones, Terry Yorath, Allan Clarke as the FA Cup final is concerned, I consider the Sunderland players will suffer to a certain extent as none of them has played at Wembley previously. “This will be Leeds‟ fifth Wembley Cup final in eight years (including the 1968 League Cup final against Arsenal).

On 8 May 1972, two days after beating Arsenal to win the FA Cup, United required just a draw at Wolves to secure the championship. They lost 2-1, allowing Derby, on holiday in the Scilly Isles, to claim the title almost by default. The failure was all the more galling for Revie because County‟s manager was the outspoken Brian Clough. The Rams boss was a regular and vitriolic critic of the approach espoused by Revie and his team. Clough wrote in later years, “On one occasion I was so incensed by their flouting of the rules that I went on record saying Don Revie should be fined and his team kicked out of the First Division and dumped in the Second. They didn‟t like that at Elland Road. The Yorkshire Post of 9 October 1972 carries the story of United's 5-0 rout of Derby two days earlier They gave the impression that they were prepared to trample on anyone who attempted to criticise their flawed talents.

Four days after their debacle at Wembley Stadium, United had the chance to recover at least some of their lost pride, as they hosted First Division runners up Arsenal in their final League game of the campaign. United still retained strong hopes of some silverware in the form of the Bob Wilson congratulates Sunderland keeper Jim Montgomery following the European Cup Winners Cup. Leeds had Wearsiders' Cup semi-final defeat of Arsenal reached the final against AC Milan, but it was important to Don Revie and his men to end their Division One season on a high by beating the Gunners. It wouldn’t make any difference to final placings in the table, as Arsenal were certain of second place behind Liverpool with United guaranteed third spot ahead of Bobby Robson’s Ipswich, but Leeds were hungry for victory.

    Norman Hunter

    26 OBITUARY GUERNSEY PRESS guernseypress.com/news Friday 24 April 2020 OBITUARY AST weekend’s papers were replete with obituaries for the legendary Norman (‘bites yer legs’) Hunter. Having read most of them I realised that most of the Lwriters had not seen him play. I like Norman Hunter to count myself as a friend of his and unfortunately Covid-19 has prevented me from inviting him and Paul Reaney, Advocate Raymond Ashton his close friend, to the return game between Manchester City and Real remembers the footballing Madrid. Before expounding on his undoubtedly career of Norman Hunter, distinguished footballing career, may I just say that, despite his ‘bites yer legs’ who recently passed away reputation, Norman was a true gent off the pitch, with a self-deprecating sense after contracting Covid-19 of humour. As is well known, he played 726 games for Leeds and, less well known, 108 times for Bristol City and 31 for Barnsley as the assistant manager to Alan Clarke. The list of honours has been well documented elsewhere and readers are recommended to look at Wikipedia for a good summary. In many ways his career is better described as a Greek tragedy for reasons I will go into below. I first got to know Norman when I was still at boarding school in Leeds. Initially my memories were of him playing in midfield (in those days an inside forward). I thought he would never make it: people had similar views about a youthful Billy Bremner, who the older Leeds players never thought would be as good as he became.
