Awful news for Rob and his family, My former next door neighbour suffered with this terrible disease for 6 years, Wouldn't wish it on us worst enemy

We have a family friend who suffers with it. Terrible disease as you say.medlocke wrote:Awful news for Rob and his family, My former next door neighbour suffered with this terrible disease for 6 years, Wouldn't wish it on us worst enemy
He was a great player for Leeds and I don’t think there is a single fan from any club who had a bad thing to say about him. For someone as good as he was that’s quite something.

Re: Rob Burrow
Difficult to know what to write in these sad circumstances!
Best of luck to Rob Burrow and his family and I'm sure every Wigan fan will support this and acknowledge he was superb as a player and certainly a modern day role model!
Best of luck pal!

Re: Rob Burrow
When I saw the story this morning I quite literally did a double take..what a terrible illness for anyone to have, let alone a recently retired professional sportsman..great player nicer bloke you wouldn't wish it on your worst enemy.

What a terrible day I’ve had today with bad news
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: Rob Burrow
He said in his interview that he can't pay people back,what an attitude.
He's paid his dues to RL now its rls turn ,we're all rivals in a small sport but at times like these we come together.
All the best to him and his family.

Hated him when he played against us but would have been more than happy if we had signed him for a few seasonsDaveO wrote: ↑Thu Dec 19, 2019 10:19 pmWe have a family friend who suffers with it.

Re: Rob Burrow
He was always likely do be one who spoiled our day but I never disliked him as a player probably because he wasn’t arrogant unlike his half back partner in crime McGuire.medlocke wrote:Hated him when he played against us but would have been more than happy if we had signed him for a few seasonsDaveO wrote: ↑Thu Dec 19, 2019 10:19 pmWe have a family friend who suffers with it.

There are some players who regardless of who they play for they earn your respect not just by how they play but by how they carry themselves and Burrow was one of those for me. Younger players could learn a lot from his attitude.
