Career

Berry, a full-time civil servant, is said to have played in his hometown Pendleton for Duchy Albion before he came as an amateur in November 1922 to the club Stalybridge Celtic , which played in the Football League Third Division North . After a use for the reserve team in the Cheshire Football League against Witton Albion, he moved through the injuries of Harry Lockett and Chris Sambrooke on December 9, 1922 for the league game at AFC Wrexham in the team. In the 1: 2 defeat in front of 5,000 spectators at Racecourse Ground , he formed the inner storm with Joe O'Kane and Edward Wordley , the only goal of his team came from a penalty. During the rest of the season he scored three goals for the reserve team, but he did not have another appearance in the first team.

As a result, Berry appeared in the 1924/25 season at Mansfield Town , for which he came after a few games in the reserve team in April 1925 to three missions in the Midland League ; in which after the actual championship round, which the club had finished as champions in February, a second, shortened round was played. On his debut, he managed a 3-0 win against Worksop Town , the correspondent said he had a “lack of experience”. In a 2-1 defeat by Sutton Town a week later, the correspondent stated: “What brought the Mansfield side down in Forest Side was the weak performance of the wingers, Berry on right and Jones on left. The former, who showed promising performances in some of the reserve games, was very weak and could hardly do the right thing. ”His last appearance was a 5-0 defeat by the Lincoln City reserve team .
