He has hero worship status at the club with a huge framed and signed photo of the Birdman in action which hangs above the members bar.
There is also a framed Crows jumper, personally signed by Burton, which has pride of place on the club walls and on junior trophy presentation day his name is mentioned in the President's motivational speech to the kids.
After the recent NAB Cup, Burton will be even more popular at Bennett Oval after his super goal in round one against Port earned his junior club a $1000 cheque courtesy of National Australia Bank (NAB).
Prior to the commencement of the 2006 NAB Cup, NAB committed to donate $1,000 to the junior club of every player each time he scored a Super Goal.
NAB donated $30,000 to junior clubs across Australia as a result of the thirty NAB Super Goals kicked during the 2006 NAB Cup.
In all six junior football clubs across Australia have benefited from the super goal kicking prowess of the Adelaide Crows - equal first with the Geelong Cats.
Simon Goodwin (Black Forest PS), Brett Burton (Roopena FC, SA), Luke Jericho (Waikerie FC, SA), Bernie Vince (CMS Crows, SA), Andrew McLeod (Darwin Buffalos, NT) and Chris Knights (Vermont, VIC) all kicked super goals during the NAB Cup.
Roopena President Robert Brereton says the club was thrilled to receive the money which will go towards junior development at the club.
"We have a large number of juniors in all grades, including 40 youngsters in the under eights, and we don't charge them a registration fee, so the money will help us that way," Mr Brereton said.
"Brett has been a role model for all our juniors and he is a constant reminder of what can be achieved by starting your football career with Roopena.
"He always pops his head into the club when he is back in town visiting family."
Burton says it is obviously a real thrill to be able to give something back to the junior club where it all began for him.
"I have wonderful memories of my time at Roopena, either playing as a junior of watching my Dad, and I hope the money can help them in some way," Burton said.
Mr Brereton remembers Brett as a bleach blonde under 10 who was a standout on the field even back then.
Brett's father Gary played in the back pocket in Roopena's first ever senior premiership in 1986 when they defeated Central Whyalla by nine points.
Mr Brereton roved that day but the highlight and fondest memory for Brett was chasing the Roopena coloured footballs kicked into the crowd pre-match.
The 1986 side will be reunited in June to reflect on their success that year and if Brett's hectic AFL schedule permits, locals will find him amongst the celebrations.
