Burton O'Brien is a former Scotland Under-21 midfielder, born in South Africa. He started his career at St Mirren before moving to Blackburn Rovers.

In the 2005-06 pre-season he decided to move to Championship side Sheffield Wednesday.
He currently still reserves an option whether to play for the Scotland or South African national teams.
Burton began to show his class towards the end of the 2005-06 season with Wednesday, scoring crucial second goals against Preston North End and Brighton and Hove Albion.
