Berry can now afford to look on the bright sideJIM REYNOLDS 31 Aug 1992 NEIL Berry emerged at the weekend from a wilderness of doubt, despair, and dread to give Hearts a 1-0 win over Motherwell at Tynecastle and himself a huge boost for the future. Berry had been out of the picture after a serious cruciate ligament injury and there were times during the past year or so when he wondered if he would ever make it back. "There were times when I thought I would never get back and it was difficult trying to motivate myself. "Now I don't think about the injury when I go whacking into a tackle -- only afterwards when I realise I've done it and my knee has stood up to it. "I owe it to the club to help make that competition all the stronger because Hearts were very good to me during the bad times. Berry started paying off the debt on Saturday when he grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck at a time when Hearts were not doing so well. Berry does not score very often. They could so easily have lost this one, however. "Although our defence looked more secure than it has been since the start of the season, I'm annoyed at the way we lost the goal. Hearts manager, Joe Jordan, admitted that his side did not play particularly well but feels they need only a little confidence to get themselves going. The man was quite right.
