Career
Burndred played for Knypersley Victoria, where he won the Midland Football Alliance golden boot with 31 goals in the 1994–95 season,[3] before joining his favourite club Port Vale in February 1995, initially on trial.[1] He made his First Division debut at Vale Park in a 1–1 draw with Notts County on 7 May 1995, the last day of the 1994–95 season, but "Valiants" manager John Rudge allowed him to leave on a free transfer later that month.[1] After a trial with Walsall he moved back into non-League football with Stafford Rangers (Southern League) and Newcastle Town.[1]
During his long periods of non-League football he worked as a manager at a Burslem pottery firm.[4]
