Career
Born in 1967, Burrows turned professional in 1991. His best run in a ranking tournament was reaching the last 16, which he achieved at both the 1996 Asian Classic and the 1998 British Open.[2] At the British Open tournament, he defeated 1986 world champion Joe Johnson before being whitewashed by reigning world champion Ken Doherty at the last 16 stage.[3]
One of most memorable moments of Burrows' career came when he recorded a maximum break against Adrian Rosa at the 1999 Benson & Hedges Championship, the 33rd official maximum break.[4]
