Burt Aull was an early football player with the Pittsburgh Athletic Club, prior to the club's hiring of professional football players. He was the brother of the team's captain and quarterback, Charley Aull. During a game held on November 21, 1892, against Pittsburgh's rivial, the Allegheny Athletic Association, Burt was knocked out of the game in the first half with a severely bruised head. Burt's brother, Charley, was also reportedly injured when he was crushed beneath a pile of several Allegheny players. As a result Charley's back was so wrenched, he had to be taken off the field on a stretcher.
The game was of historical significance since it was the first known game to feature a professional player William "Pudge" Heffelfinger who was paid $500 by Allegheny to play in the game.
