Edward Burgin (29 April 1927 – 26 March 2019)[1] was an English professional footballer who played 551 times in the Football League as a goalkeeper for Sheffield United, Doncaster Rovers, Leeds United and Rochdale.[2] He played twice for England B, and was a non-playing member of England's squad for the 1954 World Cup.

Career

Burgin started his career with Alford Town. Following a trial he signed for Sheffield United in March 1949.[1] His debut came in a Second Division game against Swansea Town on 1 September 1949,[3] and despite being only Template:ConvertScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". tall,<templatestyles src="Citation/styles.css"/>[A] his agility kept him in the side for nearly eight seasons.[1] He was ever-present during three 3 League seasons: 1950–51, 1952–53 and 1953–54, and between 12 November 1949 and 15 March 1952 made 102 consecutive league appearances.[4]

After 314 appearances for United, including 281 League games and 20 FA Cup ties, he moved to Doncaster Rovers for a £3,000 fee, as replacement for Harry Gregg who had joined Manchester United. After only five first-team games, he broke his collarbone.[1] In 1958, he joined Leeds United making 58 league appearances for the West Yorkshire side. In 1960, he joined Rochdale, where he spent six seasons, making 207 league appearances[1] and playing in the 1962 Football League Cup Final.[5] He went on to be player-manager of Glossop.[2]

During his time with Sheffield United, Burgin was regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the country. He toured Australia with the Football Association's team in 1951,[6] was a reserve for England's match with Austria in 1951,[7] won two caps for England B in 1954[8] and was selected in England's squad for the 1954 World Cup, although he did not feature in any of their matches.[9]
