Timeline
Albert Cheesebrough (17 January 1935 – 2 September 2020) was an English footballer.
A forward, he scored 88 goals in 345 leagues games over a sixteen-year professional career in the Football League.
Born in Burnley, Lancashire, Cheesebrough joined Burnley as a 15-year-old in the summer of 1950, after a series of outstanding performances as captain of his school team, Rosegrove, and for representative schoolboy teams at town and county level for Lancashire.
Turning professional with Burnley in 1951, he spent the next eight years at the club, making 158 appearances in league and cup competitions.
Though he played five games in 1951–52, he featured just once in 1952–53 and then played eight times in 1954–55 after failing to make an appearance in the entirety of the 1953–54 campaign.
He signed on professional terms on his 17th birthday in January 1952, and made his First Division debut against Manchester United three months later, before notching his first senior goal against Chelsea in April 1952.
After manager Frank Hill was replaced by Alan Brown, Cheesebrough became a regular for the "Clarets" at inside-forward in the 1955–56 season, linking up well on the left-wing with Brian Pilkington.
He scored six goals in his 41 appearances.
He won one cap for the England under-23s in 1956.
He finished the 1956–57 season with 12 goals in 45 games.
He also made one appearance for England at Under-23 level against France at Bristol City's Ashton Gate Stadium in 1956.
After retiring from the game he went on to run a butcher's shop business in Southport; he had learned the ropes of the meat trade whilst playing at Port Vale.
On 7 November 1957, he scored a hat-trick in a 7–3 victory over Leicester City.
He retained his first team place under new boss Billy Dougall, and bagged 14 goals in 42 games in the 1957–58 season.
However, Dougall was replaced by Harry Potts, who favoured up and coming youngster Jimmy Robson ahead of Cheesebrough, limiting him to seven goals and 18 appearances in 1958–59.
In total Cheesebrough made 158 appearances, scoring 40 goals, in his nine years at Turf Moor.
Signing with Leicester City in 1959, he went on to play for the "Foxes" in the 1961 FA Cup final.
He was sold to Matt Gillies's Leicester City in June 1959 for a fee of £20,000.
At Filbert Street, Cheesebrough was the club's top-scorer in 1959–60 with 17 goals in 45 appearances.
He then hit 12 goals in 42 games in 1960–61, and was part of the City side who were defeated 2–0 by Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup final at Wembley.
City had to play most of the game with ten men after Len Chalmers picked up an injury; Cheesebrough later recalled that "the pitch was very tiring so playing with 10 men was very hard".
He scored 11 goals in 26 games in 1961–62, as City posted a 14th-place finish in the league.
He played in the European Cup Winners’ Cup against Glenavon and eventual winners Atlético Madrid.
He hit three goals in 25 games in 1962–63, but was not included in the "Foxes" side that lost to Manchester United in the 1963 FA Cup final.
He moved on to Port Vale in 1963, and after recovering from injury he became the club's top-scorer in 1964–65, before he transferred to Mansfield Town in 1965.
He spent two years with Mansfield before he was forced to retire due to injury.
He moved to Freddie Steele's Port Vale for a then club record fee of £15,000 in July 1963.
He opened his account at Vale Park with a hat-trick in a 3–0 win over Brentford on 16 September.
In November of that year however, he underwent a cartilage operation, and his recovery kept him out of action for the rest of the 1963–64 season; he scored seven goals in 27 games that season.
He proved his determination by returning to fitness in the 1964–65 season and finishing as the club's top-scorer, though with a grand total of seven goals in 32 games it was the first time since David Bowcock in 1917–18 that such a low total earned a player this accolade.
The "Valiants" scored just 41 goals all season long, and the arrival of Jackie Mudie could not prevent an inevitable relegation out of the Third Division.
He moved to Mansfield Town on a free transfer in July 1965.
He made 24 Third Division appearances at Field Mill in 1965–66 and 1966–67, before a broken leg ended his career.
His daughter, Susan, represented Great Britain at the Summer Olympics in 1976 and 1980 as a gymnast, and was British national champion in 1978 and 1979.
His grandfather, also named Albert Cheesebrough, was killed by sniper fire shortly after the Second Battle of Krithia in World War I.
Cheesebrough died in Southport on 2 September 2020, aged 85.
