Burrows is probably best known for scoring a jumping backheel volley goal against Portadown to seal victory for Glentoran in injury-time of a match on 5 October 2010.[1] The "astonishing goal" came from the back of Burrows' heel from 16 yards out in mid-air.[2][3] The goal received international acclaim,[4] with millions viewing the goal on YouTube, and football programmes around the world broadcasting the goal to audiences unfamiliar with the Irish league.[5] The goal drew comparisons with the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, with The Sun claiming that the two would be "proud to score a goal like that".[6]
The goal was shortlisted for the 2010 FIFA Puskás Award, which honours the player judged to have scored the "most beautiful" goal of the year.[7] However, Burrows lost out at the Ballon d'Or awards ceremony on 10 January 2011 to Bayern Munich and Turkey midfielder Hamit Altıntop, for his volleyed goal in Turkey's UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying game against Kazakhstan on 3 September 2010.
