Lawrence James Carberry (18 January 1936 – 26 June 2015) was an English professional footballer.[1] Carberry started his career with local amateurs Bootle in 1953. His career began when Ipswich Town manager Alf Ramsey spotted him.[2] He turned professional with Ipswich in May 1956.[3]

During his career at Portman Road, he made over 250 appearances. He was ever-present in the side that won the League Championship in 1961–62, having previously won the Third Division South Championship in 1957 and the Division Two Championship in 1960–61.[2] In July 1965, he was transferred to Barrow. After a disappointing 17 league appearances in his two seasons at Holker Street,[3] he joined Lancashire Combination side Burscough F.C. in 1967.
