Clarence Herbert Berry
Everton Heritage Society
With Rugby League and Rugby Union matches now being played at our Hill **** inson Stadium, it is the perfect time to tell the story of Clarence Berry — a man who lived the ultimate sporting dream by starring at the highest level in both rugby and football.
Berry first made his name in the oval-ball game, making his debut for Warrington on 25 February 1905. In a tense home clash against Swinton, it was Berry's second-half penalty kick that secured a crucial victory for his side.
He went on to make another six appearances that season but suffered the heartbreak of missing out on selection for the Rugby League Cup Final in Leeds. Warrington lifted the trophy for the very first time with a 6-0 victory over Hull Kingston Rovers without him.
