Barry Francis Fry (born 7 April 1945) is an English former football player and manager. An inside forward, Fry scored a goal for England Schoolboys in front of nearly 100,000 supporters at Wembley and was seen as the best player in the team.[1] He went on to sign for Manchester United as an apprentice but never played for the first team and then had brief spells with Bolton Wanderers, Luton Town and Leyton Orient, before he retired prematurely due to injury.

Fry has managed Dunstable Town, Bedford Town, Maidstone United, Southend United, Barnet, Birmingham City and, most recently, Peterborough United. Fry is currently director of football at Peterborough United.
