Ron Burns is a former Australian soccer player.
Raised in Wollongong, Burns was most notable for being a part of the very successful Corrimal Rangers side of the mid-1950's which earned him selection for the Socceroos. This was the only occasion he earned a full international cap and thus he is on the list of single cap Socceroos. This match was played in 1955 against a touring South African team in Sydney, Burns earning cap number 143.[1] Burns competed at the highest level of soccer in Australia with the Corrimal Rangers in the NSW Soccer Football Association State Championship and with South Coast United in the NSW Soccer Federation premiership.
Burns was a golden boot winner, ending the 1955 NSWSFA season with 37 goals from 28 matches.[2]
