Burley is married to Sheryl (born 1971) and they have three children together.

1989

As a player he was a midfielder from 1989 until 2004, notably playing in the Premier League for Chelsea and Derby County and in the Scottish Premier League for Celtic.

He also played for Dundee and finished his career in the Football League with Preston North End and Walsall.

He earned 46 caps for Scotland, scoring 3 goals.

Since retiring and working as a pundit amongst others he has worked for BBC Sport, ESPN and BT Sport.

Burley began his professional career with Chelsea in 1989, however he didn't make his debut until April 1991 when he came on as a substitute for Kerry Dixon in a 7–0 defeat against Nottingham Forest.

1992

He made his first appearance in the newly formed Premier League on 5 December 1992 in a 2–1 away win at Tottenham Hotspur.

1994

He went on to become a regular under Glenn Hoddle and played in the 1994 FA Cup final against Manchester United, picking up a runners-up medal following a 4–0 defeat.

Two years later, Chelsea got to the FA Cup semi finals where they again faced Manchester United.

With the score level at 1–1, Burley hit an errant back pass to set up David Beckham for what proved to be the winning goal.

1995

After making his Scotland debut in 1995, Burley was also in the starting line-up for a fixture against Estonia in Tallinn in October 1996, but a scheduling dispute meant the home team did not adhere to a quickly-rearranged afternoon kick-off time, and the match was abandoned at kick-off with no caps awarded to the Scotland players; the fixture was re-arranged for the following February, but Burley was injured and did not take part.

1996

Chelsea won the 1996–97 FA Cup; Burley was left out of the squad for the final but played in the semi-final against Wimbledon.

Burley played at UEFA Euro 1996 and in the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France.

At France '98 he scored the Scotland goal in a 1–1 draw with Norway in Bordeaux, latching on to a ball played forward by defender David Weir.

He was then sent off in the final group game against Morocco as Scotland were eliminated.

1997

He was sold by Ruud Gullit on 25 July 1997 to Celtic for £2.5 million.

2001

He played in four seasons for The Rams and suffered his first career relegation when the club lost their Premier League status at the end of the 2001–02 season.

2002

Burley continued to play under Craig Brown until the end of the unsuccessful 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, captaining the side in what proved to be his penultimate appearance.

2003

On 12 September 2003 he signed with Dundee on a free transfer but only played twice in a two-month spell before being released and eventually signing for Preston North End in January 2004.

By March he was a free agent again after only making four appearances for North End.

He signed with Walsall on a free transfer for the remainder of the 2003–04 season and played five times before retiring at the end of the season.
