Nicholas John Burton (born 10 February 1975 in Bury St Edmunds) is an English former professional footballer. He plays as a central defender and played in the Football League for Torquay United.

Burton began his career as an apprentice at Portsmouth, but on failing to win a professional contract at Fratton Park, he joined Torquay United in February 1993. He scored on his league debut on 31 August 1993 as Torquay drew 1–1 at home to Carlisle United. He played only 16 times in the league for Torquay, scoring once more, in the 4–1 defeat away to Rochdale in January 1994, before being released in 1995 joining Yeovil Town.

He moved to Aldershot Town on a free transfer in February 1996, making his debut as a substitute for Jimmy Sugrue in the 1–0 defeat away to Leyton Pennant on 10 February, and quickly became a regular in the Aldershot side. His only goal for the Shots came on 24 September 1996 as Aldershot drew 2–2 away to Billericay Town. He began the 1997–98 season as a regular in the centre of the Shots’ defence, but lost his place and left to join Hampton & Richmond Borough in December 1997.

He helped Hampton to promotion at the end of the season. In the 1999–2000 season he had such a good season that he won almost every one of the various awards given to Hampton players. He missed the start of the following season with a foot injury, but once fit regained his regular place in the Hampton side. In October 2001, even though he was captain of Hampton, he was allowed to join Isthmian League Premier rivals Gravesend & Northfleet on a free transfer as Hampton suffered a cash crisis and released five players. He helped Gravesend to the Isthmian League Premier Division title and with it promotion to the Conference.

He left Gravesend in May 2003 to join Farnborough Town and was immediately appointed captain by Farnborough manager Tommy Taylor. He played over 50 times in the Conference for Farnborough before moving to Crawley Town in March 2005 in exchange deal that took Kevin Hemsley in the opposite direction. He was offered a new contract with Crawley at the end of the season, but turned it down due to work commitments.

He joined Eastleigh in June 2005, but left to join St Albans City in November 2005. He made his Saints’ debut in an FA Trophy win away to Heybridge Swifts later that month, but missed the following two matches due his marriage in December 2005. He finally made his Conference South debut on 26 December 2005 as Saints won at home to Bishops Stortford and appeared on the winning side in each of first six games for the club. He left St Albans in March 2006 and joined Staines Town.

He rejoined Farnborough in the 2006 close season, playing 36 times in their Conference South side. He left to join Harrow Borough in the 2007 close season, while also working as a sales executive (in 2000 he had been described in the Sunday Independent as a ‘glue salesman by trade’). He moved back to Farnborough in July 2008.

In January 2009, Burton signed for Walton Casuals.

Mary Kate Olsen’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Mary-Kate Olsen net worth: Mary-Kate Olsen, half of the famous Olsen twins, is an American actress and entrepreneur who has a net worth of $250 million. Mary Kate Olsen earned her enormous fortune through a diverse and eclectic revenue stream that includes acting, producing, writing, and fashion design. Early Life: Mary Kate Olsen was born on June 13, 1986, in Sherman Oaks, California. Her parents, David and Jarnette, divorced in 1996. She and her twin, Ashley, have an older brother, Trent, a younger sister Elizabeth (who is also a successful actress) and younger half-siblings Taylor and Jake from their father’s second marriage. She attended Campbell Hall School in Los Angeles and New York University, where she was a student at the Gallatin School of Individualized Study alongside her sister Ashley. Career: Her career began at the tender age of nine months when she and her twin sister Ashley got the role of Michelle Tanner on “Full House,” which would go on to be hugely popular and serve as the foundation on which the “Olsen twins” brand would be built. One of the interesting aspects of the Michelle Tanner role is that both twins took turns playing her. The reason for this unusual acting concept was to sidestep child labor laws which restricted the amount of time a child could act in front of the cameras. By casting twins, the savvy producers of “Full House” were able to double the amount of available Michelle Tanner time. In 1995, the massively popular “Full House: ended its run, but the Olsen twins did not. They continued to merchandise their likeness on everything from clothing and makeup to a series of direct to video movies such as their “The Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley” series. From 1992 t0 2002, Mary Kate starred alongside Ashley in the films “To Grandmother’s House We Go,” “Double, Double,Toil and Trouble,” “How the West Was Fun,” “It Takes Two,”  and “Billboard Dad.” In the 1990s, Mary Kate and her twin sister founded the production company Dualstar Entertainment Group. Through their production company the twins produced a long and successful string of TV movies and direct-to-video releases which they also starred in, including “Passport to Paris,” “Our Lips Are Sealed,” “Winning London,” “Holiday in the Sun,” as well as the television series “So Little Time,” which she was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for in 2002. In the late 1990s and early 2000, Mary Kate and Ashley became hits and household names with preteen girls and licensed their images and brand to clothes, books, perfumes, magazines, movies, and posters, among others. They appeared in more movies together that were released both theatrically and direct-to-video. In 2004 she was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Television with her sister Ashley Olsen at 6801 Hollywood Blvd. Since their childhood stardom, Mary-Kate has worked as an actress in a variety of roles, including the role of Union in “The Wackness.” Olsen’s first solo acting appearance was in the 2006 movie “Factory Girl.” Her one short scene was ultimately cut from the theatrical release but was included on the film’s DVD. In 2007 Mary-Kate Olsen starred as Tara Lindman on the television series “Weeds.” In 2008, Olsen made a guest appearance on the ABC comedy “Samantha Who.” The sisters released the celebrity interview book “Influence”” in 2008. Today their retail empire generates over $100 million in sales per year. Mary-Kate has co-founded several brands along with her sister including The Row, Olsenboye, StyleMint, and Elizabeth and James. The pair of twins were named Womenswear Designer of the Year for The Row in both 2012 and 2015. The twins made news by signing a pledge to allow all the workers that sew their line of clothing in Bangladesh full maternity leave. The National Labor Committee, which organized the pledge, later praised the twins for their commitment to worker rights. In March 2012, both Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen indicated that they would be retiring as actresses in order to focus on their careers in fashion. Mary Kate and Ashley released a fashion line for the massive retailer Walmart for girls ages 4 to 14 as well as a beauty line called Mary-Kate and Ashley: Real Fashion for Real Girls. She’s also released collections with smaller, much higher-end fashion lines such as Badgley Mischka. The twins also head a couture fashion label, The Row, as well as the Elizabeth and James, Olsenboye, and StyleMint retail collections. Mary Kate has also won awards from the Council of Fashion Designers of America. Personal Life: Mary Kate began dating Olivier Sarkozy, the half brother of former President of France Nicolas Sarkozy in May 2012. The couple married on November 27, 2015, in a private residence in New York City. She filed for divorce in April 2020. Mary-Kate began horseback riding in 1992 when she was six years old. During her time at Campbell Hall she was a member of the school’s equestrian team. In 2013, her horse Marvelous ridden by James Anderson, won the 38th Hampton Classic Horse Show. Mary-Kate is a competitive equestrian. In 2016 Mary-Kate competed at The American Gold Cup in upstate New York. Salary Highlights: Full House made the twins $2,400 per episode in the beginning.
