*
Jeff Stelling named Burton as the worst footballer that Boston United have ever had in his book entitled England's Worst Footballers, mainly due to inability to complete a full 90 minutes in the Football League.* To date Burton still hasn't completed a full 90 minutes in League Football despite playing eight times for Boston United and playing six Football League games for Doncaster Rovers.
