Description
Book SynopsisRob Burrow MBE played Rugby League for nearly 20 years for Leeds Rhinos, England and Great Britain winning every possible honour in the sport. From the earliest part of his career, Rob always defied the odds as the shortest player in a sport full of giants and instantly became everyone's favourite player when he danced rings around huge defenders to score spectacular tries. In December 2019, Rob was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) and applied the same determined attitude to his fight against MND and for those impacted by the disease. Rob died in June 2024.
