The Prince and Princess of Wales have paid tribute to former Rugby League player Rob Burrow who tragically died at the age of 41 after a battle with motor neurone disease

Prince William has paid a heartfelt tribute to the 'legend of Rugby League' Rob Burrow, who tragically passed away at 41 after a long battle with motor neurone disease. The Prince of Wales reflected on the former England international's "huge heart", having raised millions for charity during his personal fight with motor neurone disease.

Throughout his impressive career, the ex-England international championed his team to secure eight Super League trophies before retiring in 2017 and being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease two years later. Rob publicly shared his diagnosis and focused his efforts on raising funds to combat the disease alongside Sinfield, they managed to raise enough proceeds to open a new care facility for those affected by MND.

"The MND Association is incredibly grateful to Rob and his family for helping to raise awareness of MND, and funds for the Association, by sharing the details of their journey and by inspiring so many people both within the MND community and the wider public."
