the other Don Cherry


Recommended Posts

I had the pleasure of meeting Don in 1979.  Very nice guy, mild-mannered, polite.

I concluded that his television persona was mostly an act.

Dana, perhaps you knew that the francophones in Quebec would watch the French language broadcasts of the games, and switch over to the English channel to watch Don Cherry during the intermissions!

I'm going to miss the outfits. at least.  He called out by the Royal Canadian Legion for his remarks.

In no way do I condone Cherry's recent comments.  Nevertheless, I will miss his unique perspective and the manner in which he presented it.  Not to mention the crazy clothes.  His chemistry with Ron MacLean was unmatched and will also be greatly missed.  Cherry's on screen persona and mannerisms also lent themselves to some pretty amusing and good natured derision.  For example, the piano desk.
