John Anthony Cheesewright (born 12 January 1973) is an English former professional footballer who played in the Football League for Birmingham City, Colchester United and Wycombe Wanderers.[2] He played as a goalkeeper.

Career

Cheesewright was born in Romford, Havering. He began his football career as a trainee with Tottenham Hotspur, but was released in 1981 without playing for the first team. He joined Southend United, but again failed to appear for the first team. After a spell in non-league football with Kingsbury Town, he signed for Birmingham City, initially on a non-contract basis, in 1991.[1] He made his debut in the Third Division on 14 December 1991 in a 2–1 defeat at A.F.C. Bournemouth,[3] and played in the Football League Trophy four days later,[4] but after a few months he was allowed to leave for Cobh Ramblers.[1]

After a spell with Dagenham & Redbridge, Cheesewright joined Braintree Town, where he impressed sufficiently to earn a move back to the Football League with Colchester United.[1] The fee, of £10,000, was Braintree's record transfer fee received,[5] and Cheesewright went on to play 40 league games for Colchester. In June 1995 he appeared on loan for Wimbledon in a 4–0 defeat to Bursaspor in a group match of the 1995 UEFA Intertoto Cup, when English clubs were not taking the competition seriously.[6] A stint with Mansion in the Hong Kong First Division League[7] preceded another return to the Football League, this time with Wycombe Wanderers, where he played 18 league games.[2]

He then spent brief periods with Romford,[8] Aldershot Town,[9] and Heybridge Swifts,[10] before attempting a return to the Football League with Barnet, where he signed as goalkeeping cover just before the April 1998 transfer deadline.[11] Without playing for Barnet, Cheesewright moved on to play for a number of teams in the Hertfordshire and Essex area, including St Albans City,[12] Leyton Pennant,[13] Braintree Town,[14] Heybridge Swifts (again),[15] and finally, in 2000, as an outfield player for Eton Manor in the Essex Senior League.[16]

As of 2008, Cheesewright was married with two children and was working as a wealth planning manager for a major bank.[17]
