Rob Burrow - The Passing of a Legend : Sun Jun 02, 2024 7:54 pm  

Rob Burrow - The Passing of a Legend
We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of England, Great Britain and Leeds Rhinos legend Rob Burrow at the age of just forty-one years from complications of the Motor Neurone Disease which he has suffered so bravely and inspirationally since his diagnosis almost five years ago.

Rob passed today at Pinderfield's Hospital in Wakefield after a short illness after he was admitted earlier in the week and he leaves behind his brave and dedicated wife Lindsay, along with his three children Macy, Maya and Jackson who have been so brave over the last few years and inspirational in their support of Dad and family man Rob.

Rob retired from rugby league in 2017 after sixteen successful seasons at his only club, Leeds Rhinos where he made 492 appearances and scored 195 tries and 157 goals.

During his club career he won eight Super League Grand Finals, two Challenge Cups, three World Club Challenge Cups, three League Leaders Shields, two Harry Sunderland Trophies, three selections for the Super League Dream Team and an MBE in the 2021 Queens New Years Honours List.

The was a perfect professional, feared and admired by all in the game, able to play way beyond his stature and weight, and a fabulous representative of the game in the public eye.

Re: Rob Burrow - The Passing of a Legend : Tue Nov 19, 2024 4:08 pm  
Just come across this ....



Everybody said you were small, but with heaps of confidence you always stood tall.

Growing up seeing you on the screen, wishing you were playing for our favourite rugby team.

We really want to thank you for all the memories.

Although at times when we played you, we were sometimes enemies.

Waking up that day, we all heard the news, facing a serious disease. You might just lose?

Seeing your face, we were all so sad,
nobody knew it was going to be this bad.

MND is a disease that nobody knew,
the pain and heartache it has put you through.

It's been a pleasure as we have slowly watched you become our national treasure.

Now it's time to say goodbye, but in spirit, I know you will always be nearby.

With tearful eyes
We watched you suffer,
we saw you fade away,
although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay.

So this poem is our final gift for you ... Rugby League fans will never forget you.
