Liechtensteiner - Biography
- Liechtenstein international who played for Vaduz, Aarau and Basel before arriving at Darlington. Supposedly while playing for Liechtenstein against England in a 2004 European Championships qualifying match at Old Trafford in 2003, Burgmeier was spotted by Max Houghton. Although Liechtenstein lost 2–0, Houghton was impressed by Burgmeier's stamina and effort. When Burgmeier was released by Basel in 2008, Houghton, then 12 years old, suggested to his grandfather, George Houghton, who was chairman of Darlington at the time that he should be given a trial. Following a successful trial, Burgmeier was signed by Quakers on a one-year deal in August 2008. Left the Darlington after the conclusion of the season when the club hit financial problems.
