Neil Berry (born 6 April 1963) was a Scottish football player who played the majority of his career with Scottish Premier League club Hearts.
He was known for his tough-tackling, no nonsense style of play. He was a regular in the Hearts team throughout much of the 1980s and early 1990s, and was a member of the 1985–86 team that lost the league title on the last game of the season to Celtic, and the 1986 Scottish Cup Final to Aberdeen.
Although he was chiefly a midfielder, he could also play in defence and was often drafted into the rear-guard alongside the likes of Craig Levein.[1]
