Leeds Rhinos star Rob Burrow dies aged 41

Friends and fans have paid tribute to Rob Burrow, sharing words of adoration and laying flowers at the Leeds Rhinos ground

He retired in 2017 but two years later it was revealed Burrow had been diagnosed with MND and, after he raised millions to help build a new care centre for MND patients alongside former team-mate Kevin Sinfield, his death was confirmed by his former club on Sunday evening. He continued: "I have lost a dear friend and I will never forget the special times we shared both on and off the pitch.

“He never allowed others to define what he could achieve and believed in his own ability to do more."
