Jamie Jones-Buchanan says he is driven to make sure former team-mate Rob Burrow’s legacy will live on.
Alongside close friend and former team-mate Kevin Sinfield, Burrow raised millions of pounds to fund a new care centre for MND patients in Leeds. “I’m just looking at his plaque and living out this journey from December 15, 2019 when I first heard about it, right up until June 2, 2024. Those two dates and what happened in between will never leave me, it charges me every single day and not just me, all of us who wear that badge.
An illustrious career was fully under way and Burrow was a key figure for Leeds during a trophy-laden spell where they claimed World Club Challenge glory in 2005, 2008 and again in 2012 alongside two Challenge Cups. It is with deep sadness that the club can confirm that former player Rob Burrow CBE has passed away, aged 41.More hereBurrow made the brave decision to go public with the disease on December 19, 2019 and during the next four-and-a-half years would earn the adulation of the nation with his fundraising efforts for MND.
An MBE was awarded to Burrow in the 2021 New Year Honours list for his services to rugby league and the MND community.
