RIP fella. Poor lad and poor family too, but what an inspiration he's been: him, his lovely family and his PROPER best mate, Sinfield. Bless them all. RIP, Rob. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl4ever1867 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 (edited) I've never met Rob Burrow but I have to admit, it made me cry, I've been a hugr fan of RL for many a year, I used to dread it when my team (Huddersfield Giants) played Rhinos, with the likes of Sinfield, McGuire, Senior & Burrows came to town The No7 was 4 foot nothing, and an absolute joy to watch, his runs from dummy half, picking the ball up 1 handed put teams instantly on the back foot, he played the game how it should be played, he played like a 7 foot giant, he got stuck in, wasn't scared to tackle those prop forwards at 18 stone plus, he wore his heart on his sleeve. I don't like to throw the word "Legend" around easy but this lil player was, the game has lost a an all time great, a legend of the game & will be sorely missed. Thank you for the memories, one I'm sure those in RL will cherish over a number of years. My thoughts are with his Wife, kids, family & friends - especially Kevin Sinfield who was not only his team mate but his best friend. Good night #7 God bless you. RIP Rob Burrow.
