Oh f**k.!!

Knew this was inevitable but it’s cut me up no end..

Not the first time he’s brought a tear to my eye, the other was when Kev carried him over the marathon finish line.  That’s true friendship.

I’m gutted, quite frankly, and it takes a lot to do that.

RIP..

I cried my eyes out with this news. His wife and children, Kev and his many friends and colleagues must be heartbroken. What a send of he will get. 41 years old. No age. MND is horrible. I have seen it first hand when I used to nurse.

Pocket rocket with a massive heart..... very sad news and I'm personally really sad to hear the news.  Watched him as a player and loved him - watched him accept the MND full on and loved him.  Great man and a complete legend.....

RIP fella....

Yes we knew it was coming but it still awful news when it happens.

Thoughts are with his family right now & Kevin Sinfield who was just unbelievable in what he has done to help both Rob & raise so much money and bring massive awareness to this awful disease.

R.I.P Rob. You were a true legend and will not be forgotten.

A genuine legend both with the Rhino’s and what he has done in raising awareness of this dreadful condition. Rest in peace Rob, and many thanks for all the wonderful memories. My thoughts are with your family and friends at this tragic time.

I thought Luke Littler would be a good choice for SPOTTY 2024.
However my vote now would go to Rob Burrows. Amazing talent and an amazingly humble guy. What he and Kevin Sinfield have done over the last five years shows what sport can do to raise the profile of a horrible illness with no cure.
Rob Burrows a true Legend.

I just watched a short clip from the Rob Burrow documentary which went out last night and I was in bits.
I’m going to watch the whole thing through later on iplayer so goodness knows what I will be like then.
