Rob Burrow: Rugby league player who raised awareness after Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis, dies 

RIP Rob, what a man

I've often been accused of having a swinging brick for a heart, but I have a lump in my throat and a tear in my eyes tonight. Well played Rob, well played.

RIP Rob. Deepest sympathies to his family and friends❤

Such a lovely, courageous and marvellous man. Motor Neurone Disease is cruel beyond words to describe and I am so sorry for his family who had to watch his suffering. Nothing I can say is adequate. I am just so very sorry to hear of his passing and send my love to his family and superb fund-raising friends.

So sorry to hear this heartbreaking news,he and his wife absolute warrior's. R.I.P now.

May he rest in peace, such a brave man. God Bless his family.🙏🙏

R.I.E.P 🙏🏾

Just devastated 💔

RIP Rob.

What a terrible disease. R.I.P 🕊❤

What a great guy and simply a lovely man. He was a proper sportsman and a legend. Rip Rob and thanks

Such an inspiration, condolences to family friends and Rugby league community

Such sad news. He did an amazing thing campaigning for MND. My condolences to his family and friends

Rugby Leagues GOAT is out of pain & has moved onto his after life. So Brave. I liked him a lot. He is the GOAT RL guy cuz he was an average height average wieght guy who ran rings around literal 6ft 4in Hulks.

Rugby union fan here in piece. Sad, sad news to hear Rob burrows has finally left us. Unfortunately it was always going to be this outcome by my god did he fight it with such incredible bravery and dignity. A legend on and off the pitch, I genuinely feel for his family and friends.

So sad such a talented man died so young. RIP 💖

Some of my greatest memories are from watching Rob with my dad. RIP Rob x

And it should be Sir Kevin Sinfield ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Love to Lyndsey and the family, such an inspiration

Rip rob what a brave man . We too lost a close family member to MND terrible disease condolences to your family and friends .

Im not a rugby league fan but im absolutely gutted to hear this my thoughts are with all the family of Rob total respect ❤

I'm not a Rugby League fan, but what a brave guy. Very sad to see someone who achieved what he did as a sportsman decline so quickly. I suppose It's the fragility of the human condition. I always admired Kevin Sinfield running those marathons for his mate. I'm sure he'll be devastated. RIP.

Such a tragedy, so bravely fought. Sincere condolences to the Burrow family.
