Berry joined [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] from [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]] in [[1951]]. He went on to help United win three league championships before injuries sustained in the [[Munich Air Disaster]] brought his footballing career to an end. He was agonizingly close to perishing due to injuries he received to his head in the crash, spending two months in a coma. When he woke up he was totally unaware of the plane crash, his injuries having caused a light form of amnesia. He received the sad news one month after he regained consciousness. |

Berry was a natural right winger, with technique and pace as his strengths. He played 277 matches for Manchester United, bagging 44 goals along the way. He played regularly for the first six seasons, before losing his place in the start-line for youngster Ken Morgans. |

He later ran a sports business with his brother Peter, and he died on September 23rd, 1994 at the age of 68 after a short illness. His son Neil published a book in 2007 describing his years at [[Manchester United]] |
