Burke has returned from a minor ankle injury to start the past four games and opened his goal scoring account with the match-winner against Salford City at Bescot on Saturday. 

36-year-old Flint was also a standout in the centre of the back-line, as the Saddlers kept their first clean sheet of the season in League Two. 

And Burke is eager to glean as many tips as possible in the art of defending, and the game itself, from the seemingly evergreen Flint.
