Ive never met Rob Burrow but I have to admit, it made me cry, I've been a hugr fan of RL for many a year, I used to dread it when my team (Huddersfield Giants) played Rhinos, with the likes of Sinfield, McGuire, Senior & Burrows came to town

The No7 was 4 foot nothing, and an absolute joy to watch, his runs from dummy half, picking the ball up 1 handed put teams instantly on the back foot, he played the game how it should be played, he played like a 7 foot giant, he got stuck in, wasn't scared to tackle those prop forwards at 18 stone plus, he wore his heart on his sleeve.

I don't like to throw the word "Legend" around easy but this lil player was, the game has lost a an all time great, a legend of the game & will be sorely missed.

Thank you for the memories, one I'm sure those in RL will cherish over a number of years.

My thoughts are with his Wife, kids, family & friends - especially Kevin Sinfield who was not only his team mate but his best friend.

Good night #7 God bless you.

RIP Rob Burrow.

One day, thanks in no small way to way to Rob and Kevin, a cure for this terrible disease will be found and that will be Rob's legacy. But until then all our sport has lost a lion and a wonderful human being.
Rest in peace Rob.

Don`t know what to say that hasn`t already been said.
Fabulous player, fabulous person and a fabulous family.
One of the best players I`ve ever seen and one of the most humblest you could wish to meet.
Thoughts are with his parents and his wife and kids at this very sad time.
RIP Robbie.

One of the most exciting players ever to grace a RL pitch. A true champion in every sense of the word. Hero is a word often overused, but not in this case. Thoughts with his family and friends. RIP Rob.

RIP Rob a true legend of the game.

RIP Rob.

So, so sad. An absolute legend on and off the field.

He, his family and friends (inc Kevin) have been through so much and deserve everyone's utmost respect.

RIP RB7

Rob has been a constant in my life since I was 15. I never met him, but I feel like I've lost a member of my family. Rest in peace, mate, your deeds on and off the field will live forever.

RIP Rob, as an Australian fan of the Leeds Rhinos my condolences to Robs family and friends,

A Champion on and off the field, Big Love to his wife and family.

A great player and a great man. Just a pity he and to get seriously ill for the rest of the country to appreciate him . RIP

We were so lucky to witness his skill and bravery over the years. Inspirational person on every level.
RIP

God bless you Rob. Rest in peace King. Thoughts with all his family and friends x sad sad day. He will never be forgotten

Rest in peace Rob.

I never met him properly, but once ran into him in a quiet tea room in York with my Mum. He seemed such a normal and grounded guy.

I remember seeing his debut against Hull and thinking he'd never make it because of his size. What did I know! He was great at proving the doubters wrong, even later in his career when he make it impossible for Brian Mac to leave him out of the side because of his electric game-changing running, epitomised by the GF try against Saints.
