    Terrible news only 72 years old, as manager he and Terry Yorath had one of the best attacking teams I've seen in my time watching City, they never knew when they were beaten.

    This is awful news on top of all the other losses we have had.
    Very few players/managers have ever had such an impact at THREE clubs, especially in the same local area. And what he did for Bradford City before and after the fire will never be forgotten.
    My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

    RIP Trevor

    Indeed he was our last the manager to win a league title and in my opinion wasn't given enough time once we returned to VP

    Not sure his desire for football was there for whatever reason at the end, whether it be how long he'd been in the game or the aftermath of 11/05/85.
    Never continued at the sharp end of football after us, and moved into business quite succesfully.
    A bit of punditory thereafter & moved back to his 1st love Town (cough) to work there in hospitality I believe.
    A most unassuming man but a large part in the recent history of our club.

    Shocking news.He was always held in high regard by me and gave me some of my fondest memories. He was absolutely the right fit for the Club and quietly reshaped us into a good footballing side who got us promoted. Did not deserve to leave in the way he did and I think the Board acted in haste. RIP Trevor, you really did mean a lot to so many of us and will be sorely missed. Condolences to his nearest and dearest . A gentleman and a true BCFC Legend.

    My 1st memories of watching and following BCFC were with Trevor Cheery at the helm. Wonderful halcyon days for a teenager growing up in Bradfud during the 80's
    RIP sir and have some fun chats catching up with big Bobby.

    Better to have memories than dreams

    So sorry to hear this sad news. One of the best ever managers at Valley Parade who worked under very difficult times. Wonderful team to watch in the promotion year and did wonderfully well in division two considering being homeless due to the aftermath of that awful fire.

    As many have said he was a true gentleman and was harshly treated by the board at the end.
    Rest in Peace Trevor, thanks for your service.

    As a young man, my first experience was of Trevor Cherry as the manager of Bradford City.

    In incredible job, an incredible man both sides of 11.05 and an absolute legend and star for Bradford City. A real reason behind the modern history of our football club.

    RIP, Mr Cherry. God bless.

    He always seemed to be too much of a gent for Leeds.
    Sad that so many players I remember a falling, to be expected as I age, but makes you think.

    Can only endorse what everybody is saying about TC.
    Such a shame with many years ahead of him, our manager at some of the best times for the club and the very worst time.
    A true City gent, RIP Trevor.

    Agreed. The one sacking I still think was terrible - despite the progress we made afterwards

    Really shocked at this.Great manager
    and player.He had a great career and
    his time with us was special.

    He had a good business brain and would
    of been an ideal director of operations.

    Very sad. R.I.P. Trevor.
