Steve Burr began his football career as a player with Stafford Rangers but it was with a summer 1984 move to Macclesfield Town that he really started to make a name for himself.

In 1990 Alex Ferguson, brought a Manchester United team to Moss Rose to celebrate Burr's testimonial year.

The lure of management higher up the pyramid took Burr into the Conference with Northwich Victoria at that stage, and once again he made a serious impact - although this time on a different scale.

The season had begun well with Alex Ferguson yet again playing a part in Burr's career by bringing a Manchester United side to Northwich to celebrate the opening of their new ground, the Victoria Stadium.

This earned him the division's Manager of the Month[3] title for February 2010 but this was to be the last accolade of the season for Burr and the Harriers as they went out of the FA Trophy to eventual finalists and Conference champions, Stevenage Borough, and a drop in form saw them finish 13th in the league.

In March 2011 Kidderminster refused fellow Conference side Grimsby Town permission to talk to Burr about the possibility of him becoming the next Mariners manager.

[5] The Harriers went on to finish sixth in the Conference, one place outside the play-offs,[citation needed] after slipping to defeats late in the season at home to Darlington[6] and away to Rushden & Diamonds[7] and suffering a points deduction after financial problems off the field.

In 2013, Burr received the Conference Premier Manager of the Month[8] award for February after steering his side to five straight wins in five matches.

After a thrilling last day of the season that saw Kiddy miss out on automatic promotion by two points the club failed to get past Wrexham in the Play-offs.

On 1 November 2013, it was announced that Steve had been given permission to speak with Forest Green Rovers in relation to the vacant managerial role at that club.

"[12] On 24 January 2020, Burr was announced as the interim assistant manager of National League North team Hereford following the appointment of Josh Gowling.

[13] After just three months in charge, and with the club level on points at the bottom of the Southern League Premier Central, he was sacked by the Pitmen on 12 December 2022.
