Leeds Rhinos legend Rob Burrow has urged people not to waste a moment of life in an inspiring final message, recorded before his tragic death.
The rugby league hero, who died after a four-and-a-half year battle with MND yesterday , shared the message during BBC documentary ‘There’s Only One Rob Burrow’. It featured interviews with his former teammate and best friend Kevin Sinfield, his wife Lindsey Burrow and his parents Geoff and Irene Burrow, as well as Rob himself. In the final moments of the programme, Rob said: “I am just a lad from Yorkshire who got to live out his dream of playing rugby league.
Around £6 million of that sum has gone towards building a new state-of-the-art MND centre in Leeds. Kevin has taken on a number of challenges to support his friend, including a gruelling ‘7 in 7 in 7’ challenge last Christmas, that saw him run an ultra-marathon every day for seven days in seven different cities. Famously, he carried Rob across the finish line in the first Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon in 2023. During the documentary, Kevin said: “I just tried to do a bit of running for a mate.
