Rob Burrow Interview on BBC Breakfast 

RIP, Rob. You fought the bravest fight possible. Your efforts will save countless lives in the future.

A bigger man than I can ever hope to be.

Rest in Peace legend.

There's only one Robbie Burrow 💙💛

A very special person, and a warrior. RIP

With the smallest physical stature on the field, as a player he had the largest stature in character, determination and courage. This man has been an inspiration across a whole era of the game's history. He was key to the domination his Leeds team achieved, and was never afraid of tackling the biggest man on the field; with the ball in his hands, he was unstoppable with pace and ability to evade any opponent. As a Saints fan, he and his Leeds team have caused me endless heartache in many a final, but as a rugby league fan, his contribution to the game, the entertainment and inspiration it provides to enormous numbers of people, it's hard to comprehend how one individual can contribute so much. As a father myself, I cry for him, and the inevitable effect on his family, but this is a man that doesn't need pity. He'll deal with MND with the courage and dignity that led a guy of 5 foot 4 inches, to play the world's most brutal sport. Congratulations to everyone involved in the tribute game - rugby league at it's best: Jamie Jones-Buchanan shared his testimonial for Rob's benefit, the fans packed a full stadium, players who had retired many years ago came back to play in support of him, and Bradford players who paid their way through the turnstiles for the sheer privilege of providing the game's opposition on a momentous occasion. All of them, remarkable and heartwarming acts of fellowship, that lift the spirit, and hopefully Rob's in particular. The camaradarie of our sport is humbling but not infrequent; we have a long history of similar acts of kindness, often coming from the hardest of men. Good luck Rob - this wonderful community is with you all the way.

I dont do sport any sport..but watchin an following rob what an apsalute legend aöways had a smile till the end..❤

Still remember being a kid, stood on a box to see over the side at knowsley road, and seeing some little fella darting in and around all the big lads. Nothing but respect for Rob Burrow. I wish him and his family all the best.

What an inspirational man.

Bless him such a amazing human being ❤❤❤❤

I saw the programme on Rob burrow the other night it was so upsetting seeing Rob and his family life is so cruel all the best Rob and family

How can anyone dislike the!!! Burrows is a legend

From Wigan with love 💘 brother!there's only 1 Rob burrow. Hero to us all

What a brave man, God bless you Rob ❤

Keep fighting rob, love from your fans in Ireland

Remember a pre season game at Keighley when Rob Burrow was playing for a Leeds Rhinos 13. Exciting to watch and an obvious talent but his pace of the mark was awsome. He wasn't a first team regular at the time and Gary hetherington was walking around the ground so, cheekily I said could Keighley sign him, he smiled and said very unlikely he 's got a great future, which of course he had in the game, sad that this has struck him but he's tenacious and will battle on. Good on him, a privelige to see him in action, a great player.

Watched rob burrow since I started watching rugby league he defied the odds to play at the highest level when people said he was to small let's hope he can defie the odds again n live on for many years to see his children grow up,the courage of a rhino unbelievable character to face this terrible news

The greatest man to have ever played rugby, i hope they find a cure, heartbreaking to see such a great man hit with it. God bless rob

Hero, legend, inspiration, down to earth bloke. Brilliant support at Headingley on Sunday from the RL family - as expected. Good luck, Rob.

A true inspiration and a top man👍🏻

Love to you and your family Rob . You're a true hero ! 😘

To hear how much his speech got gotten worse is heart breaking

Wigan fan, proud to be part of the rugby league family. We look after our own! A great player and a very brave man.

No sport comes close to RL as what a huge family we are. Respect all round Always has been the same

Absolutely heartbreaking

I LOVE YOU ROBBIE YOU ARE MY HEROAND MOT ALWAYS XXX

Rob Burrow will never be forgotten. A great player loved by all.There's an interview on the Leeds website from mid-September 2019 where you'd never guess Rob had the disease. Truly frightening how quickly it has taken hold a few months later.

Small guy with a very big heart💙💛

Seems like he has a bulbar form of ALS, as his speech is going very quickly. Brave man.

Some man for one man

Legend

Keep fighting brother

Still doesn't seem real, I know our sport may not be the most popular in the country or world and may all disagree with each other through club rivalries etc but when it comes to supporting one of our own whether a player , supporter or what ever. We always rally round and put club rivalries in the past to help and doing whatever we can. Halifax fan

I really don't get why anyone could down thumb this video... some proper thicko heartless people in this world, really is.. is it a sport thing? Shame on you. Whatever goes through your thick peanut brain when you can dislike that I'd never know. I don't do rugby but this interview just show's there are strong people about us prepared to try and take this on. They are alone with this condition. If you don't know about this condition then look it up. If you then want to dislike the vid I'd be lost for words for you... a Rat. Completely. I don't know you Rob and don't know your sport at all but upmost respect... by the sounds of it you were a fighter on the field... and you're a fighter off it. YNWA
