When Jack Charlton's Sheffield Wednesday travelled to Leeds United for Trevor Cherry's testimonial

A 27-time England international, the defender played for Huddersfield Town, Leeds United and Bradford City in an illustrious playing career that spanned two decades from 1965 to 1985.

He captained his country on one occasion, against Australia in 1980, and went on to manage the Bantams for five years from 1982. Cherry’s tragic death follows the passing of fellow Leeds icon Norman Hunter from coronavirus on April 17.

Though Sheffield Wednesday were not one of the Yorkshire sides he had career links with, they did play a role in the final years of his career, when in October 1981 Jack Charlton’s Owls travelled to Elland Road for Cherry’s testimonial.

Cherry had arrived at Leeds from the Terriers, his boyhood club, as a replacement for Charlton just months before his retirement.

A crowd of 9,331 witnessed an entertaining 3-3 draw with five goals scored in the second half including a late Cherry equaliser from the penalty spot.

The teams on the day were as follows; John Lukic (David Seaman), Kevin Hurd, Eddie Gray, Trevor Cherry, Paul Hart (Keith Parkinson), Byron Stevenson (Alex Sabella), Terry Connor, Arthur Graham, Duncan McKenzie, Gary Hamson, Peter Barnes

Sheffield Wednesday: Bob Bolder, Ray Blackhall, Charlie Williamson, Mark Smith, Peter Shirtliff (Mike Pickering), Kevin Taylor, Gary Megson, Ante Mirocevic (Brian Hornsby), Gary Bannister, Andy McCulloch (John Pearson), Terry Curran (Ian Mellor).
