An absolute innovator and true shinboner. Big part of the club's early success. Condolences to Barry's family.

 

[Frank Thring]

A great contributor to our club. Vale Barry

Geez, is that the last link, in an off field sense, to the great 70’s era?

[DuckYeah]

Fair innings

 

[hilly]

The reason I support the almighty NMFC. Vale.

 

[The Brady Bunch]

Champion of the club on and off the field. And as far as I'm aware, never got caught on the wrong side of history supporting relocation or any other such unfortunate moment in the club's history.

 

[shintemaster]

What a magic moment that must have been after so long.

 

[Hojuman]

End of an era.

Vale Barry. Hope you got that 1975 Jacket on mate
Best dressed that day by a mile.

Never knew Marj had passed either.

North Melbourne has suffered another sad loss, with news of the sudden death of former player and administrator Barry Cheatley

[GoNorth]

I am sad to hear the news that Barry has passed away. My mother volunteered to help at the Bingo sessions Barry used to run for the club in Melbourne many years ago and I had the privilege of meeting Barry and his lovely wife Barbara many times.
Mum and I last spoke to Barry at Dot Pain’s funeral in May and it was great to catch up with him and see him looking well.

R.I.P. Barry. Sincere condolences to Barbara, Barry’s family and friends. A true Shinboner.

[Mr north man]

A True North Man thru and thru

Geez, is that the last link, in an off field sense, to the great 70’s era?

Sadly I believe the answer is yes.

 

[Luke72]

I worked with Barb years ago at Visual Entertainment, she is a lovely lady. She goes to all the games and is always happy to say hello and have a chat.

Condolences to all the family, while I did not know Barry his legacy at the club is a lasting tribute to what he accomplished and something all North supporters proudly use as evidence as to why our club is the greatest.

Pretty much. It's time for the new generation.

 

[Bertie22]

I kept going back to the player portrait on the website. I know that I had this pic at one stage, many, many moons ago. I think that Barry's was a part of a set from maybe Mobil or a similar petrol company. Not Shell though. My dad did some work there and they did not have them. Some other OFs might be able to verify.

 

[King Corey]

Sudden?

 

[Kanga Glory]

If I remember correctly was the first to work at a club as a marketing person. Again North led the way.
Was instrumental in thev70's era.
Was a North legend.

[HumphreyBBear]

Bye Cheater.
A great North man and a huge reason we won those 1970s flags. I have known him most of my life, and will miss him. When you called him, you would need at least an hour - he loved to talk!
Marj and Cheater in the same week. Life is shit sometimes.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Always awful to lose a true Shinboner.

To be blunt, without these legends of the 70’s, off fielders, we would not be here today

Go well Barry
