Thomas Burnett (9 February 1913 – 1986) was an English footballer who played as a full back in the Football League for Darlington. [1]
Burnett was born in 1913 in the Leyburn district of the North Riding of Yorkshire, [1] [2] the son of John Burnett, a woodman on the Bolton estate, and his wife Margaret. [5] [6]
Burnett made his debut for Darlington in the 1935–36 Football League season. [1] Although primarily a full back, he also played as a centre half for Darlington's reserves, [7] and was used in that position for the first team as well, in January 1937 when there were eight enforced changes because of influenza and injuries. [8] He had a run of games at left back at the end of that season, [9] and was retained for 1937–38. [10] After new signing Mike Boyle was injured in October, Burnett came into the league side for the visit of Lincoln City, but was unable to finish the match because of injury. [11] He was offered terms for the 1938–39 season, [12] but turned them down, and was given a free transfer. [13] He finished his Darlington career with 16 appearances in the Third Division North. [1]
Burnett's death was registered in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1986. [3]
Saturday's bride was Miss Margaret Burnett, a daughter of Mr. John Burnett, Preston, who has seen many years' service with Lord Bolton. ... Her sister, Miss Rhoda Burnett, was the bridesmaid ... Mr. Tom Burnett, the Darlington footballer who is a brother of the bride, acted as best man.
Darlington are handicapped for their game with Bradford City in that both their right backs—Boyle and Burnett—have been injured in successive matches.
