Rob Burrow was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2019

Rob Burrow's final wish has been honoured after the groundbreaking for a new therapy centre named after him went ahead today .

In a BBC Breakfast interview, one of Rob's friends, Phil Daly said: "We mentioned the groundbreaking, we will have the groundbreaking today, that was Rob's wishes. We spoke to Lindsey on Friday and that's what he said. We can't waste a day and Rob wouldn't want us to waste a day, we start today." "This centre will be somewhere where people can get their diagnosis and actually find out the next steps. Rob was at the heart of planning for it there will be family areas there to help children understand in an environment that is comforting.", reports the Mirror.

Rob's former teammate at Leeds, Jamie Jones-Buchacan, said: "Rob stood out he was brave, he was courageous, he spoke in a world that lacks a lot of courage, a lot of people with anxiety, I think that physical ability was his superpower, and it's what shone."
