On Saturday, 14th March 2009 history will be made in Sussex.
Three generations from the same family, grandfather, father and son, will take to the field as scrum-half, fly-half and inside-centre representing their local rugby club, Heathfield & Waldron RFC in a local derby with Hellingly RFC.

Front Row, Left to Right: Leo Burdett and Kieran Burdett
Brian Burdett, aged 68, is the senior member of the trio and Jeremy Burdett the youngest, turning 17 on 1st March. At fly-half, Brady Burdett, aged 45, is the third family member who will take to the field between his father and son.
Rugby is major part of family life for the Burdetts: Jeremy was named by his father after Jeremy Guscott and his brother, Kieran, after Kieran Bracken. They also had a cat named “Rory” after another former England player.
Brian and Brady have been key members of Heathfield & Waldron RFC since the club’s foundation in 1980 and both were members of the same Heathfield team for their first ever match against Seaford.
In the intervening years the Club has progressed into the London South-East divisions and today, with over 500 players, is one of Sussex’s leading clubs. In 2004 this was acknowledged when it was awarded the coveted Sports England Seal of Approval.
