Career
Cherry began his career at Hearts in 1983. Three years later, after making only a handful of appearances for the Jambos, he moved to Cowdenbeath. The deal did not involve a cash transaction but witnessed the Blue Brazil relinquish their rights to a future sell-on fee for Craig Levein, whom they had sold to Hearts in 1983.
After making 70 appearances and scoring 13 goals for Cowden, Cherry signed for Alex Totten's St. Johnstone. He remained at Muirton Park, firstly, and then McDiarmid Park, for eight years, clocking up over 200 league appearances. He played under two other managers during his time in Perth - John McClelland and Paul Sturrock.
In 1996, Cherry joined Inverness Caledonian Thistle, where he saw out the remainder of his professional career.
He moved into junior football in 1999 with Newburgh.
