Bio
Recruited from East Perth in the West Australian Football League, Gerry Burton crossed the Nullarbor to join St Kilda ahead of the 1955 VFL season. A solid defender standing 180cm, he typically lined up on a half-back flank, breaking into the senior side to aid a defensive unit that had struggled in previous years. Burton managed 10 appearances in the number 9 guernsey during his solitary year at the Junction Oval, playing more than half the season before his brief VFL career concluded without a goal to his name.
