Leeds Rhinos chief executive Gary Hetherington has promised the club and rugby league in general will ensure Rob Burrow will never be forgotten.
Burrow’s family attended an emotional groundbreaking ceremony for the Rob Burrow Centre for MND at Seacroft Hospital on Monday after he and former team-mate Kevin Sinfield had helped raise millions of pounds.“I’m delighted that that process has been accelerated to such an extent it’s now going to get done and that in itself will be a permanent memorial and reminder of Rob Burrow.
“He transcended rugby league, everyone in the north of England and the whole of England, we remember what he’s done and why he’s done it and make sure it’s a legacy he’s left, a life fulfilled,” Jones-Buchanan told BBC Breakfast. “I think we all lose special people but it’s very, very rare you lose someone who’s so special to so many different people.”
Burrow made the 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.
