Biography
As St Kilda's games played record holder with 323 appearances between 1987 and 2003, it goes without saying that Nathan Burke was the epitome of consistency and durability. He was also a supremely gutsy and talented footballer who was an inspiration to team-mates with his attitude and demeanour. A triple club best and fairest winner, Burke's status as one of the game's premier on-ballers was emphasised with his selection in no fewer than four AFL All Australian teams. He was St Kilda's co-captain along with Stewart Loewe from 1996 to 1998 and skippered the side in his own right in 1999 and 2000. In 2002 he was selected in a forward pocket in the Saints' official 'Team of the Twentieth Century'.
