Lawrence James "Larry" Carberry (born January 18, 1936 in Liverpool , † June 26, 2015 in Sefton ) was an English football player . He was in the second half of the 1950s and the first half of the 1960s part of Ipswich Town , which won the championship in each of the top three English divisions. On the way to the surprising win of the English title in 1962 under the later world champion coach Alf Ramsey , he completed all league games in his regular position on the right defensive side.

Athletic career

Carberry was discovered by Ipswich Town coach Alf Ramsey in the spring of 1956 when he was playing for the small club Bury Town in the Eastern Counties League . Ramsey, who later became England coach, was a right-back when he was active. He provided Carberry with a professional contract after he had played at Everton FC in his home country at a young age , but did not get beyond amateur status there. Shortly before his arrival in Ipswich, he had done his military service in Bury St Edmunds and other interested parties in his engagement included Norwich City , Stoke City and Liverpool FC .

The newcomer, whose strengths were shown in speed and good technique, won the third division championship with Ipswich Town in his first full season in 1956/57 and thus rose to the second division. In the following years Carberry remained a constant in Ipswich's team, which continued the path to the top of English professional football. His over 250 league appearances led him to advance to the top division in 1961 and win the English championship the following year . He contributed to the title win, as he was not missing in any of the 42 league games. Then things went downhill in terms of sport and two years later Carberry and his men rose again from bottom of the table in the second division. In mid-1965 he left the club and at AFC Barrow and shortly afterwards at FC Burscough he finally let his career end. When Bill Shankly from Liverpool FC invited him to work as head scout for the "Reds" in 1967 , Carberry turned it down. Instead, he preferred a professional life as a dock worker. In 2010 Ipswich Town took him into the club's own "Hall of Fame".
