Rob Burrow, who spent his entire rugby league career with Leeds Rhinos, has died at the age of 41 after a lengthy battle with motor neurone disease

The Prince of Wales has honoured the late Rob Burrow, a Rugby League icon who passed away at 41, as a man with a "huge heart" and a legend of the sport.

Burrow courageously shared his diagnosis on December 19, 2019, and over the next few years, he captured the hearts of the nation through his fundraising work for MND, raising millions for a new care centre alongside ex-teammate Kevin Sinfield, reports the Mirror.
