Rob Burrow RIP - Charlemagne - 02-06-2024 18:10
Sad to hear the news that Rob Burrow has lost his fight against motor neurone disease.
Rob was only 41 years old
RIP

Very sad news but a blessed release from this awful disease. RIP Rob Burrow a true legend far too young.

Brought tears to my eyes I'm not ashamed to admit, for many reasons. I've had a work colleague & close neighbour suffer from MND one taken far too young, the other at least lived to a good age. Both great people.
What stands out is the bravery that they have all tackled this terrible disease, & the support from family & friends.
Everything Rob showed on the field was displayed in his fight. So proud to be a fellow Yorkshireman, he was the epitome of the very best to be born in our County. A stand-out human strong, displayed humour. Difficult to do him justice with my words.

Terrible news. I went all moist eyed when I heard the news earlier today but I've just read some of the tributes to him on X and tears have flowed. In a world beset with troubles the pure beauty of the love between Rob and Kevin Sinfield shines like a beacon of light showing us what we as humans should all strive to be.
God rest his soul

Wow I don't know where to start. I don't think I can add much more to what has already been said here, except that Rugby league has lost a true giant in the sport and British sport has lost a proper sporting legend as a whole.
Like so many of us here seeing how Rob and Kevin Sinfield worked so hard together in raising money for treatments and funds for a cure for this horrible disease. I suspect Kevin probably was one of the very first to know Rob had passed away today.
The Rugby League community is a strong one and I know it will be coming together as one I'm sure, with club allegiances temporarily forgotten in paying respect right across this country and in other parts of the wider world where the game is played. I do suspect & wouldn't be surprised if the Speaker will pay tribute to him in Parliament at some point and the Government looked again and gave special exemption to funding for MND in honour of Rob.
The Challenge Cup Final will now become a huge emotional final following this news. A nice touch would be to make Rob's family guests of Honour on the day.
God bless Rob Burrow - a fighter to the end and 41 is no age - and to ONE true Rugby League legend, RIP. All thoughts, prayers, and condolences to Rob's family, his friends and the wider Rugby League community as a whole.

I think we all echo those sentiments here Boomer, no matter where we live. Some of us probably do share the same experiences as you do knowing people with this disease. At a time when the Government looking at funding for treatments, we can all only hope that the Government steps back from doing so and gives MND funding it deserves, in honour of Rob.
