Born in 1969, 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, beating World Number 2 John Higgins 5-0 in the process, and the 1998 British Open.[1] 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.[2]
