"In a world full of adversity we must still dare to dream".
Amazing final words Rob. Rest in Peace.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
As a lifelong super league fan, watch this man if you haven’t already , 5’5 playing every week with other guys twice his size. One of the greatest players we have ever produced . RIP 🫡
Never cried as much.
This man is a true inspiration and I mean a TRUE inspiration.
Honestly I will never forget these words.
Jesus I’m sobbing and I don’t even know the guy, he put up such a fight and with such courage and determination, that smile is something I’ll never forget, rest in peace Rob Burrow 💔
Like you I too have watched these tributes in tears. He was a very special lad from Yorkshire, his wife, children and family can be so proud of him. His is a face I will never forget.
Rob, you've left your mark, not only on the disease, but on rugby league, the world in general, and many many peoples hearts. RIP my friend.
Thats what true courage sounds like. RIP Rob.❤
Bloody hell, that put a lump in the throat. What a wonderful note to leave on, despite the awful nature of his departure. Pure class.
You have left a mark on the world. RIP ROB from Ireland 🇮🇪
Wow, what a man, a son, a husband, a father, a brother, a friend, a legend, a fundraiser and such a selfless man and so much more.
“By the time you are watching this, I will no longer be here.”
Those words absolutely broke me, Rob didn’t deserve this awful kind of disease, nobody deserves it, he was such a healthy and kind person and MND just teared it all up apart. I’m proud that he managed to keep fighting for 4 years, but it really digs a hole in my heart that he never won the war. Fly high Rob, you definitely didn’t deserve any of this at all, you was such a great, aspiring person and you still were, you bet a whole legacy. Thank you.
God bless you, Rob. My dad had MND back in 1977, and he died 1979! I was 10 years old its just brought back memories off his struggles with MND and how horrible the disease is, I really hope people keep the awareness about MND, I feel for all, you have left behind especially the 3 little ones, as we was 3 too at the time, I give my up most regards to your family RIP 🙏
I have cried and cried. YOU ARE JUST SOMETHING ELSE
💯😢😢💙💛

Hearts are breaking all over the UK, and probably all over the world. Rob, even in your final weeks, you still fought like a trooper and continued to to put your amazing family, and others, first. Such strength, courage, passion and genuine love could only have come from you and your big heart ❤️❤️❤️. You've absolutely blown me away, and restored my faith in humanity 🌟 You may have now left us, but my goodness, what an incredible legacy you have left behind 👍 R.I.P Rob Burrow 🙏
A tear is rolling down my cheek what a true inspiration.
God bless Rob, rest easy lad
What a true inspiration he was all the money he raised for MND he is a legend rest in peace rob.
I bawled like a baby watching this documentary. As a resident of huddersfield who has previously lived in warrington and widnes, i love rugby league and we was an amazing player. I for one will ge travelling to Leeds to line the streets as rob takes hus final journey, as i hope many others will too
This man in an inspiration.
RIP to one of the greats !
What an absolute legend. Rest well Rob, you done your family so proud x
Dear Rob and your beautiful family and Kevin, thank you all for showing the world what courage and bravery and self belief and love can create 🙏. The male of the human species is so often a lesser being. Rob and Kevin, you have both shown to the world what true and unconditional love and friendship can achieve.
As Maja Angelou once said:
People will forget what you said.
People will forget what you did.
But people will never forget how you made them feel. 🌈🌈
My teaching will be forever inspired by you Both.
You have brought and you continue to bring, tears of joy to my old eyes 🦋💪🌹🌹
Wow to his family you have been so strong he is loved by so many 👏👏👏🇬🇧♥️
This is so very sad,rest in peace Rob,love to your beautiful family ❤
I'm a Rugby League fan. i'm from what is classed as Lancashire. Its a rival to Yorkshire, but one thing you know about those Yorkshire lads is their fight their pride their passion and their love of what they're doing. Full of guts and never give in or give up. Rob Burrows was that and more. I watched him play live with hands over mouth saying he's gonna get hit hard but he never did cause they never caught him he was so quick, so brave, always of the opinion a good little un can always beat a bigger big un and he did so many times. Inspirational on and off the field. His mark on life cannot be overshadowed or under stated. Courage Daring to dream and do at the same time. Success was given for him with those abilities. My love yes i say love for him respect admiration will never die or go away. He has left a huge hole in Life, I don't know of anyone who cannot be inspired by his words and his quote. He didn't have a single enemy in one of the most powerful games on earth played by big men who were and are giants, and the biggest giant of them all, was a small little lad from Yorkshire who wore number 7. RIP from a Warrington fan who has seen many a good little un in his time following League but my god they broke that mould when Rob Burrows came along. Thank You for Mighty Deeds on and OFF the field. Legend. I think Leeds Rhinos RLFC have to seriously consider retiring the number 7 shirt now in their club in honour.
❤
So very humble with still a passion & zest for life and totally inspirational .... RIP Mr Rob Burrow 😔 🤍

What a player Rob was, so good at breaking defenses, his speed was scary, was a pleasure to watch him play and whole family is pretty much devastated by this, big love to Robs family all the Leeds Rhinos and rugby league fans ❤
Wonderful man wonderful family RIP Rob you will never be forgotten ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ xxx
God Bless Rob Burrow . May you rest in eternal peace . I loved watching you play the game you loved . When you came to the H.J stadium you worried players nearly twice your size . Your grand final try is one of the best trys ever .Ducking and jinking your way over the line .
R.I.P ROB CONDOLENCES TO YOUR FAMILY, THE STRENGTH AND COURAGE OF A LION 💐❤
If this world was full of people .Like Rob Burrows and his Family. And to top that you had friends like Kevin Seinfeld . What more would need in life. R.I.P. Rob you toched the hearts of many.❤
Marching on together forever.
My grandad had MND. I never got to meet him. My mum and her siblings had to watch it take him away slowly. I can't imagine having to do that for my own parents, i would crumble. This disease really shows how strong people can be. Rob you truly are an inspiration, and the £15 MILLION pounds you and Kevin have raised could just be the funds that find the cure to this truly cruel disease. RIP big man.
Absolutely heartbreaking! Fly high Rob.
He's left his mark on the world... I thought his legacy would be from his rugby but it extends so far beyond that now. Not even ashamed to say I cried at this message. What a man. What an inspiration!!
Wish his family and close friends the best in their time of grief.
What a legend. RIP Rob Burrow.
What a man !
Rip rob 🙏 god bless you
Sir you have done your country and family proud. Absolute legend. Sleep well my friend. Thanks for all the wonderful memories. Never to be forgotten ❤
With love from Papua New Guinea. A legend of a player who has the lions heart for our game.

God bless you Rob rest in peace you have made everyone so proud
What a human being. We should all follow the example he has left. True legend of a man. Whilst his family must be utterly devastated at his passing, they must be extremely proud. God bless.
An amazingly courageous man with a true heart of gold,rest easy Rob,we will remember you and the work you have achieved.Sending much love to his brave family.🌹x
What a man 🙏😔
Living with an incurable disease myself. Listening to the message of Rob, a Yorkshire man like myself made me shed a tear and I dare not say i cried, I’m blubbering and wondering how short life is.
My advice is to always go forward no matter what you go through, we don’t know what’s round the corner. So enjoy life. Please for everyone, do it.
RIP a true rugby great, I pray for your family that they find peace and happiness.
Rest in peace dear man. Your beautiful family are in my thoughts and prayers 🤍
Omg this was beautiful but also so very heartbreaking. Why do people like robb get taken so cruelly. He was a genuinely beautiful man. Kind loving and much more. R.i.p robb xx
Inspirational 👌🏻👌🏻❤️…..rest in eternal peace Rob 🥲❤️
I am a rugby league fan not a english rugby league fan, but it really hits hard how not long ago that he was tearing it up, and as a brave 5.5ft tall guy, then in such a short space of time, this disease is so insidious and all throughout he had immense courage and a heart of gold. RIP and my heart goes out to his young family.
Legend. Rest in peace
That little laugh he did at the end. Nothing phased him. He went out in style and bravery
R.I.P Rob 🤝 total respect a man of courage and a man of honour 🤝🫶🤲a man who opponents and rival fans alike respected and loved a unique man your spirit is always with us a true legend marching on together keep fighting 🦚🦏🤍💛💙🤝🫶🤲🏐🏉🪽🕊️
God bless you Rob what a huge heart and kegacy you jave keft for your family. May god bless you now and look after your family as you watch from above.
A brave and courageous man. I'm not a fan of sports but this message is inspirational and that clip of his friend carrying him to the finish line and gave him a kiss on the cheek was bittersweet. Thinking of his loved ones 🙏🏻💕 R.I.P Rob
Rip Rob. You will always be a giant of a human being in my eyes. Condolences and love to all your family

" A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING" ....GOD BLESS ROB
A TRUE AWESOME LEGEND WE WILL NEVER FORGET THANKYOU ROB BURROW R.I.P🤗🤗🤗👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It's so so hard to take a positive from this. A young man, with kids, dying in his early 40's. He literally did everything the right way and this happened. Questions one's faith.
This may have changed my life. Thank you Rob!
God bless you, Sir, a king amongst men. Sleep well. You are an inspiration to us all.
For such a small guy he was lighting fast and a truly great player R.I.P Rob and thankyou for entertaining us for so many years
