English Rugby League legend Rob Burrow died from motor neurone disease.Prince William and former teammate Kevin Sinfield led the tributes to rugby league great Rob Burrow, who died on Sunday from motor neurone disease, aged 41.
A legend of Rugby League, Rob Burrow had a huge heart. He taught us, ‘in a world full of adversity, we must dare to dream.’ Catherine and I send our love to Lindsey, Jackson, Maya and Macy. WHe also lauded Burrow's"phenomenal" efforts in raising more than £15 million to help build a new MND care centre.
"Rob has always been a true inspiration... he never allowed others to define what he could achieve and believed in his own ability to do more." The player of the match award at this year's Super League Grand Final will be renamed after Burrow, who was the first player to win it twice in 2007 and 2011.
