I went down to the ground last night with my son, it was very peaceful and moving.

A huge tribute of flowers, scarves and shirts are being left at the John Holmes statue. Saw flowers being left my Cas and Hull fans and our next Home Secretary was there as well, I spoke to her briefly and she was charming and spoke in glowing terms about Rob and his family.

A note had been left from a Warrington fan crediting the grit Rob had shown with helping them find hope and determination to deal with their own mental health challenges.

It’s a wonderful legacy and tribute to the man if you can impact people you have never met in such a positive way.

Im just numb, its devastating news that we all knew was coming but is a total gut punch when it finally happens..

I lost my mother suddenly earlier this year and Rob was her inspiration, she loved him to bits, she loved him as a player and loved him more for everything he did fighting this horrible disease and doing it all with his cheeky smile and a quiet dignity.

He was a colossus on and of the pitch, no mean feat for a lad that was 5'11 and went toe to toe with some of the biggest monsters in the game.

He leaves behind a simply amazing legacy not just his exploits on the pitch but everything he was able to achieve as a figurehead in the MND community and even an inspiration in the wider UK sporting community.

Thank you for everything Rob, there will never be another Rob hence the chant "Theres only one Rob Burrow"

As an opposition fan (Wigan) I couldn't help but admire, respect and like Rob Burrow as a player, even when my guys were on the wrong end of his talent. Even a lot of great players don't get the respect they deserve from opposition fans until they hang up their boots. Rob was one of those rare players who could transcend that. I particularly looked forward to when he represented his country, when I could properly get behind him and cheer him on, and I will always remember his outstanding player of the series exploits for Great Britain in the 2007 test series victory over New Zealand. I think I will break out the dvd of that again this weekend! Rugby league has lost a true icon, whose legacy will continue to grow, but, of course, the real loss is with his family and friends. What a player, what a man.

Rob Burrow 100% Rhino we know that.

As a Hull KR fan I remember before our SL days being drawn away to you lot in the CC and obviously having no chance whatsoever. But hey we got to the 60 minute mark not so far behind ...... then this young livewire Burrow came off the bench and ran us absolutely ragged.

That was my first recollection of the player Rob Burrow.

Hull Kingston Rovers will be wearing special tribute Rob Burrow warm up shirts in their away fixture at Headingley






I couldn't hear the robin sing if not for you.
