Playing Career
Carey started his football career with Greenwood FC in Togher. He later signed for Cork City where he made a number of appearances in the centre of defence in a season that ended in defeat in the 1989 FAI Cup Final.
After several impressive displays, Carey signed for Manchester United on 24 August 1989, but four years later had still not made a first-team appearance despite being 25 years old. In November 1993, he was transferred to Leicester City but failed to win a regular first team place and within three years had been sold to Wrexham, having played 58 tmes in the league for the Foxes. The highlight of his time at Filbert Street came in the 1994 Division One playoff final, when he helped them beat local rivals Derby County 2–1 and win promotion to the Premier League after seven years away from the top flight.
The former Wrexham captain's time at the Racecourse Ground spanned nine years, taking in one promotion, two relegations and an FA Cup quarter-final. Following his retirement as a player through injury in July 2005, he remained at Wrexham as a coach.

—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“John Brown’s career for the last six weeks of his life was meteor-like, flashing through the darkness in which we live. I know of nothing so miraculous in our history.”
