Midfielder who began his career at Gillingham, progressing through their junior sides to the reserves. During the first half of the 1973/74 campaign Bernie scored four goals in 12 appearances for the Gills' second string but he left the club early in 1974 and joined Sittingbourne.
In July 1974 Bernie joined Margate on a month's trial and appeared in the club's pre-season friendlies. However he refused the terms offered for a permanent deal and moved on to Maidstone instead. During the 1974/75 season the Stones loaned Bernie to Dover and he scored three goals there.
In August 1976 Bernie returned to Margate from Maidstone, initially on loan, and made his debut in a 2-0 home defeat against Wealdstone on 28.8.76. His move soon became permanent and Bernie went on to make 29 appearances (four as sub) during the 1976/77 season, scoring three goals. He usually played in midfield but also featured as a striker and he was never a regular in the side.
He left the club in the summer of 1977 and later played for Dartford before linking up with Dartford Glentworth. Bernie's spell there included the 1978/79 season.
