Steve Berry moved to Roker Park on a free transfer from Portsmouth in the summer of 1984
and was a regular during the 1984/85 campaign. Sadly Sunderland were relegated at the end
of that season and following the arrival of Lawrie McMenemy as manager and several new players,
Steve found himself out of favour. He made just one appearance during the 1985/86 season before
moving on to Newport County in December 1985. He is pictured above during the 1-0 defeat
against Chelsea on 27th August 1984.

In 2006, having already started a new career in corporate head-hunting and executive coaching,
Berry moved to Paris and was Global Director of Talent for Ipsos Mori, a leading market research
agency headquartered in Paris. Following this role Steve decided to set up his own Executive Search
business in partnership with some ex colleagues. Tillerman Executive Search is based in the 16e Paris.
In addition to head-hunting Steve is also focused on mentoring and coaching ex sports people
transition their lives and careers after retiring from professional sport.
