Berry joined Stoke City on a free transfer in July 1982 joining up with Richie Barker who had previously worked as assistant manager at Wolves.
Berry was a good header of the ball and while he lacked technical skill he made up for it with his determination and commitment which combined with his distinctive afro style haircut (copied from the Jackson 5) meant Berry was well on his way to becoming a cult hero.
With Stoke bottom of the First Division in December 1983 Barker was sacked and caretaker manager Bill Asprey banished Berry to the youth team as he sought to restore defensive stability to the team which had conceded 33 goals in the first 17 matches.
Berry received no explanation for this public humiliation and the pair never spoke again.
His last Wales appearance came on 23 February 1983 in a 2–1 Home Championship defeat to England.
After retiring from playing, Berry gained a business degree and became the senior commercial executive at the Professional Footballers' Association.
