The news broke just as we were getting ready to go out for our evening meal whilst on a 10 day cruise , I had Sky Sports news on in our cabin .

We all knew this day was coming and the last time I saw Rob on tv it looked as though we wouldn't have him too much longer but it was still a huge shock and a very sad moment .

The little man was a phenomenal Rugby League player , when you are Rob's size in Rugby League you need to have firstly immense speed and a big Rugby League brain and he had both in absolute abundance .

You also need to be brave as a lion because even with the attributes he had you are still going to get smashed by 20 stone forwards every once in a while .

Bravery on Rugby League field is nothing in comparison to the courage he displayed living with that dreadful illness and along with his mate Kevin Sinfield they raised millions of pounds for MND whilst also raising awareness .

The bond between these two men whilst raising the money they did was phenomenal .

RIP Rob7Burrow
