Cherry almost didn’t make it to Michigan State due to an ankle injury he experienced prior to the season, but Tom Izzo encouraged him not to quit and instead enroll at MSU.

Early Life and Education

Steve Cherry grew up in Calverton, England surrounded by coal miners. His family expected that he’d follow in their footsteps and work in a mine; but Cherry had other ideas.

Beginning his MSU career as a walk-on reserve for coach Tom Izzo’s 2000 championship team, he played the last 25.3 seconds in MSU’s 114-63 victory against Florida in the national title game.

Cherry went on to play for UT-Chattanooga, helping the Mocs win the 2005 Southern Conference Tournament Championship and qualify for NCAA competition. Additionally, he served as volunteer assistant coach under former head coach Eddie Barnes at Tallahassee Community College for three seasons.

As a schoolboy, he signed for Derby County as a youth team player. Over two seasons with them he won several caps for England Junior team before graduating to senior side on professional contract and making 77 appearances – including loan stints at Port Vale.

Later on he played for Walsall and Plymouth Argyle – winning their Player of the Year award – before having brief spells at Rotherham United, Kettering Town, Rushden & Diamonds and Gainsborough Trinity as well as Stalybridge Celtic, Kidsgrove Athletic and Belper Town.

Cherry first joined Port Vale on loan in November 1980 after John McGrath sold Trevor Dance as regular goalkeeper, when manager John McGrath sold Trevor Dance’s contract. Cherry played four Fourth Division and four FA Cup matches before leaving for more permanent employment elsewhere.

After leaving the Baseball Ground in August 1984, he joined Walsall and helped them finish 11th in the Third Division in his inaugural season at Fellows Park. From there, he transferred to Plymouth Argyle where he became part of their Third Division play-off winning sides in 1989/90 and 1991/92 under manager Neil Warnock and played in both play-off finals.

He made 23 league and cup appearances for the Millers between 1995-96 and 1996-97, helping them secure promotion out of the Second Division both times. In addition, he played non-league for Kidsgrove Athletic, Stalybridge Celtic and Belper Town.

He found great enjoyment working on his cattle farm and hosting cookouts with friends in his free time, along with traveling and spending time with family. A member of His Vision Ministries in Tarboro, he treasured serving His Church Family and loved serving the community he lived in before peacefully passing away in his sleep on August 9, 2021.
