The former Leeds Rhino player sadly struck down by MND (motor neurone disease) passed away on 2nd June 2024.

His best friend and fellow player Kevin Sinfield memorably carrying him across the finish line at the 2023 Leeds Marathon is probably one of the most emotional things I've seen.

RIP Rob Burrow

No age at all although don’t follow rugby league the resulting events after his diagnosis were very emotive his team mate carrying him over the line was one , and the awareness raised for a very cruel disease by his family and teammates and others.
RIP

Very sad but what a lap of honour he's had thanks to his friends and family. Like ontheslate I don't follow rugby but Rob's story grabbed my attention and respect. A fine man with fine friends. What more could one ask to be? RIP.
