A cruel illness which sadly took our own Don Revie at a mere 61.

Rob Burrow is an absolute legend to me, a small man with great desire and strength. If anyone can fight it, he can.

Rob Burrow, the Leeds Rhinos's legend has just announced that he's been diagnosed with MND, the same dreadful illness that Don Revie suffered with. Such sad news.....

Awful news, Rob Burrows, the pocket rocket. He's only 37, got 3 kiddies under 8, prognosis of 3 years, so tragic :cry: :bear:
I'm going back to 505, I saw them at Sheffield and they were amazing.

I don't know the man but he has my unconditional wish for a miracle.

This shouldn't happen to anybody, so this is a wish for all people afflicted with that horrible disease, that they can get better.

Me too bb :cry:
His lovely wife is amazing and his children, well, they're a credit to Rob and Lindsay as to how they've been brought up, what a lovely family, not forgetting his Mum and Dad as well.
Also showed the bond between his Rhinos team mates, how they are there for him as well....
