Burley, CraigCraig Burley born 1971(professional footballer and Scotland internationalist) was born on Friday 24th September 1971. He signed for his first professional football contract on the 1st September 1989 for Chelsea where he had been a trainee. In nearly 8 years at Stamford Bridge he made 111 first team starts. He also broke into the Scotland Under-21 squad, making 7 appearances for the team. It was not just the juniors that he made an impression on. In 1995, whilst still at Chelsea, Craig made his international debut in Hiroshima where the Scots drew 0-0 against Japan. He went on to make 20 senior international appearances whilst at Chelsea before attracting the attention of Celtic.
Celtic paid £2,500,000 pounds for Craig prior to the start of the 1997-98 season where his outstanding performances led to him being awarded the Scottish Player of the Year trophy in his first season. The two years he spent at Parkhead saw Craig in prolific form. He scored a total of 28 goals in 90 games during a spell that saw him play in the UEFA Cup and in the Qualifying rounds of the Champions league. Celtic won the League (for the first time in a decade) and Scottish League Cup during Craig`s first season in Glasgow.
Derby paid £3,000,000 for Craig’s services just before the end of 1999. He was appointed club captain before the start of the 2001-2002 campaign, however injury problems prevented him playing for over a year. Craig also played his first international for 18 months – it was to be the last of his 46 senior international appearances as Scotland lost 2-0 against Austria. Released by Derby at the end of the season Burley returned north of the border and signed for Dundee. Craig has recently become a TV pundit.
