Rob Burrow MND

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Christ what a terrible illness 🤒

Just seen him being helped by his wonderful wife Lindsey to swim in a local pool

He was a powerful , athletic and muscular rugby player before the illness struck

Poor guy is wasting away , his wife was bigger than him on that clip on the news 😕

What a great bloke Kevin Sinfield is , helping out his mate 👏

Re: Rob Burrow MND

One of my favourite rugby league players, mainly in part because he was usually the smallest player on the field but with the heart of a lion.

Must be awful to basically be a prisoner in your own body like that. Saw the programme when he first got diagnosed and it was a tough watch.

Re: Rob Burrow MND

He does seem to be deteriorating fairly quickly.
Apart from this new programme and an appearance at the RL opening ceremony last weekend, he's hardly seen. Very sad.

Re: Rob Burrow MND

I would recommend his book.

It is called Too Many Reasons To Live.
It is a sad read but quite funny in parts and gives you some insight into the disease and Rob's life.

Re: Rob Burrow MND

Such a cruel disease. Good documentary highlighting it. Fair play to him and all those around him for keeping fighting.
