Not sure if its been posted or not but just read on the Wigan website that Norman Cherrington has died. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP Norman.

One of the fastest forwards I have ever seen, and will always be remembered by older Wiganers for that tackle on Ike Southward of Workington Town at Wembley in 1958.

R.I.P.

Excellent player, very fast. Sad to think Cherry was the last survivor of a great 60s pack, any six from seven, all good uns...

Barton, Sayer, McTigue, Collier, Cherrington, Lyon, Evans

My dad always talked about that tackle, one of his favourite players, sad news, R.I.P. Norman.

RIP lad !

A great player from a great pack.

My dad lived just round the corner from him, and regularly saw him in the Subby Club,

RIP.

Although far far before my time, my Grandma had nothing but great things to say about the man.

Very sad news, a true gent RIP Norman.

Very sad news.

Strange that i was only asking my grandad about him on Sunday and my partner had recently visited him and said how nice he was.

RIP

My Grandad used to have a pint with him.

RIP and condolences.

I remember him well - the Pear Tree was my local for many years.

RIP, before my time, but RIP to anyone who proudly donned the cherry and white.
