Career
Burgin started his career with Alford Town. Following a trial he signed for Sheffield United in March 1949. His debut came in a Second Division game against Swansea Town on 1 September 1949, and despite being only {{height|ft=5|in=7}} tall,{{ref label|Height|A|}} his agility kept him in the side for nearly eight seasons. 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.
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. 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 and playing in the 1962 Football League Cup Final.{{cite news |url=http://www.rochdaleobserver.co.uk/sport/football/rochdale/s/1014/1014169_league_cup_heroes_could_be_back_for_rerun.html |title=League Cup heroes could be back for re-run |work=Rochdale Observer |date=22 August 2007 |accessdate=6 October 2009}} He went on to be player-manager of Glossop.
During his time with Sheffield United, Burgin was regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the country.
