Career

[edit]

Sherratt started his footballing career at his local side Stoke City's youth team. He progressed up to first team level for the 1961–62 season where he provided back-up to City's number one Jimmy O'Neill.[1] He made just a single appearance all season where he kept a clean sheet in a 2–0 home win over Middlesbrough in April 1962.[1] Sherratt was released at the end of the season and joined Oxford United where he played 44 times in the league before moving to Barnsley. He spent a year at the "Tykes" but failed to establish himself as number one and joined Colchester United for the 1970–71 season but left at the end of the season.[1]
