John Burke (footballer)

John Burke (footballer) (born in Tipperary) is a former Irish football player who played as a defender.

After playing for Munster junior side Caher Park, he joined Shamrock Rovers F.C. in 1927 where he stayed until 1935. He made his debut at inside-left at Fordsons on Sunday the 6th of November 1927 in a 2-2 draw.

He won one senior cap for the Irish Free State on the 20th of April 1929 in a 4-0 friendly win against Belgium at Dalymount Park. Burke is unique in that while he won only one cap he was captain for the game.
