Rob Burrow was ‘loving, kind and caring’, wife says

The wife of Rob Burrow has described him as “loving, kind and caring” and vowed to keep his legacy alive, one day after his death was announced.Ex-rugby league player Burrow died at the age of 41 after a four-and-a-half-year battle with motor neurone disease.

“My priority is to make Rob proud, and to bring our three children up as Rob would want and ensure their happiness and well-being. A minute’s silence will be staged prior to both the men’s and women’s finals while a minute’s applause will also take place in the seventh minute of each match – Burrow wore the number seven shirt for Leeds – as well as the schools and 1895 Cup finals.

Mrs Burrow told reporters: “I said this is what Rob would want and I think he’d be proud that we all pulled ourselves together and got the strength to come, and we’re doing it for Lindsey and the kids. The family paid tribute to Mr Sinfield as a “tremendous guy,” with Mr Burrow saying: “I think what Kevin’s done, everybody else in the world will be looking and valuing their friends a whole lot more.”

Rugby league coach Jamie Jones-Buchanan, a former team-mate of Burrow, recalled the first time the two met.“I explained what they should be doing and he didn’t take a blind bit of notice – which was just to bat some balls back, and he smashed them all over the place and I spent all afternoon picking them up.“Throughout his career he was the centre of the changing room, he was where the fun and a lot of the laughter came from.
