The IFA committee has decided to honour Rotherham striker Steve Burns, who sadly passed away recently . A new ‘Top Scorer at Worldnet’ award, to be named after the Millers’ goal machine., will be introduced starting at this year’s tournament which takes place this weekend.
Steve Burns in typical pose!
Steve was a prolific goalscorer for the Internet Millers in the early to mid 2000s, and is well remembered as not only a very good footballer, but also as someone who completely understood the IFA ethos. Steve played the game without a hint of arrogance or malice and with a smile on his face. Steve also made friends with every team he faced, even representing a couple of other IFA sides on occasion. He also served on the IFA committee.
WorldNET 2005 saw Burnsy score 9 times, including 2 in an end to end final against QPR, making this award a fitting tribute to a man widely regarded as one of the best players in IFA history.
