Ipswich Town manager Bobby Robson paid to buy him out of the army to enable him to start his football career at Portman Road where he went on to make 4 appearances.
After a loan spell at Cambridge United in 1989, he signed permanently at The Abbey Stadium for a fee of £50,000 in 1990 and went on to be a permanent fixture in the side that gained successive promotions to the old Division Two under controversial manager John Beck. Winger Cheetham played a total of 132 games for the club, scoring 22 goals before joining Chesterfield on a free transfer in 1994.
After just 5 appearances at Saltergate, Cheetham moved back to East Anglia with Colchester United where he ended his league career by playing a further 37 games, scoring 3 goals.
