Carey, John (1919–1995)

Irish footballer, born in Dublin. He signed from the League of Ireland side St James Gate for Manchester United in 1936 at the age of 17 and spent 17 years with the club. As captain, he lifted the FA Cup in 1948 in United's 4–2 win over Blackpool. Playing at fullback under manager Matt Busby, he was a versatile team member, filling in at nine different positions. Having collected four runner-up medals between 1947 and 1951, he finally won his first league championship medal in the 1951–52 season. In all, Carey won 306 league appearances and was ‘Footballer of the Year’ in 1949. Having been capped 29 times for the Republic of Ireland, he also won 7 caps for Northern Ireland, becoming the only man to have played for both Irelands after qualifying for the North through his British Army service. After retiring as a player, he became manager of Blackburn Rovers and went on to manage Everton, Leyton Orient, and Nottingham Forest, before returning to Blackburn for a second spell.
