Berry studied at Denstone College and Wadham College, Oxford. He played for Oxford University A.F.C., and earned two Blues in 1907 and 1908.

He was part of the teams which won the gold medals in the football tournaments in 1908 and 1912. The team was identical to the England national amateur football team, and opinion is divided as to whether it should be referred to as a Great Britain team. In the 1908 tournament he played alongside Kenneth Hunt, who had been his team-mate in the 1907 Varsity football match.

He also played for Liverpool, Fulham, Everton, Wrexham, Northern Nomads and Oxford City. He played for England's amateur team in 24 matches between 1908 and 1913.

Berry ended his playing career in October 1914 when he became a barrister. He later served as chairman and director at Liverpool F.C.
