I dont mean to cause any offence to anybody but watching this makes me appreciate loosing my Dad when I did. On the 12th of February this year my dad was diagnosed with MND, on the 14th of February he suffered an MND related seizure, never regained consciousness and died on 16th of February. Now I dont want to sound disrespectful when I say this but after watching this and seeing what it has done to Rob in such a short space of time makes me feel a little relieved that I never had to see my Dad deteriorate to such a state. As I say I don't mean to cause any offence to anybody nor do I mean to be disrespectful. Here's hoping that one day soon we can find a cure for this horrible disease🤞🏼

Sorry for your loss.

[@drewlaventure9735]

You could have kept this in your head ....it is utterly inappropriate shame on you

[@elloiseroome563]

I'm so sorry for you're loss, my sister has just been diagnosed and I'm not really sure how to feel about it

[@davidrainford4787]

Steve, you spoke from your heart, rob has stayed with us longer than my wfe, diagnose in July 2018 with MND, in the 6 months we had left together, there was no time for anything, my head was buzzing at 90mph, i looked after my wife as best as i could, changes everyday, harder to eat, losing her voice, losing her strengh until i had to pick her up to get her into a wheel chair, to all those people commenting good or bad, they haven't a clue what its like for the sufferer or family, my wife passed away in her sleep 6 months from diagnoses.

[@pietweety7020]

Please let me meet whoever thumbed this down. Rob you and everyone going through MND is a hero in my view. Good luck pal

[@LukeSchofield1990]

This really choked me up when watching... stay strong Rob

[@SIMON2500065]

Just watched the Amazing Rob Burrows documentary and 😢emotional is not the word. This man is a true legend of Rugby league. I’m from Perth Australia and a huge West Tigers fan. The NRL family have raised loads of money for MND and I hope more people if possible can donate to this charity. From all the NRL family we send our love to the whole Burrows family and our hearts are with you ..!

[@leswater5065]

I speak for every rugby league fan out there. We have lost one of the greatest ever players to play rugby league. He fought on the pitch and he fought till the end and never give up. If we could all be like this man life would be a better place. My thoughts go out to all his family. Rip 🙏 Rob. Warrington.

[@carlysteel429]

So true xxx

[@FannyShmellar]

Rob transcended Rugby. I’m a football man but it matters not a jot what sport he played, he touched everyone in the country. He was an incredibly special and inspirational man. I have two young kids myself and just cannot bare to think about what Rob had to face. 10 times the man I am.

[@jaggass]

I've got too many reasons to live and i'm not giving in til my last breath''. That's the spirit Rob

[@irenestansfield8755]

My late husbands twin sister died of this age 60. It took many years to be diagnosed . She was 60 . Also very brave as was Rob and the other brave people ❤

[@tonywebster7061]

I was in tears all way through, but when it got 7.25 I just burst.

Lost my father to this disease 4 years ago - his death I could handle - watching the disease take a grip I couldn’t. When he eventually died as horrible as it sounds it was a huge relief knowing he wasn’t suffering no more. As harsh as it seems Rob has the hardest days to come - it broke my heart knowing what lies ahead for him and his family

[@tedholt5024]

I’m very sorry for your loss 🕊

[@Maka453]

Same I lost my father 4 years ago aged 59, this is terrible disease , hope soon medicine find the cure🙏

[@markrichards7164]

An ex work colleague of mine lost his Mother to MND, absolutely heartbreaking to see people deteriorate so quickly.

[@georgiasadventureoflife7142]

RIP Rob, what an incredible person both in sport and determination through your illness. Rugby league has lost one of its greats ❤

[@samwhitehall8545]

Never been the biggest Rugby League fan and used to think why do these doughballs at Leeds call Sinfield, Sir Kev? He's been unreal. What an absolute colossal of a man and leader.

[@elviraejang9224]

I couldn’t stop crying as I watched. Rob you’re a strong man and Lindsey, love you for sticking with him and still loving him through this cruel disease.

[@roseadams8003]

His kids are amazing with him. What a lovely family ❤️

[@abbyhuntley3171]

The bravery shown by Rob, his family and his friends have shown in producing this film to raise awareness of and garner support for those suffering from MND is so admirable. What lovely children he has also to carry on his legacy. He will be remembered not only as a great sportsman but as a great man. I can't imagine why anyone would have disliked this video

[@lewistaylor4952]

One of the most real life documentaries I’ve ever watched

[@kingsamoflange]

Respect to Sally Nugent as well. She seems like a really sincere, lovely person. I'm sure Rob appreciated her kindness.

[@dluap569161]

I don't know what to say really. I cannot comprehend the courage, selflessness, and love that Rob and his family have. I played rugby league for a year as a scrawny teenager, but couldn't take the pain and head knocks so gave up. Rob, who is much smaller than me, not only played for many years but did so magnificently at the highest level. Now, he is taking on, while putting himself aside for his love of others, the cruellest of diseases. An inspiration to all. 💪💙💛

[@kaymorrice8141]

A teacher of mine died of mnd some years ago. It was painful to visit him. To pick him off the floor when all he wanted to do was go over a style to walk in the countryside. For Rob .... To be loved and to have family & friends around him at this time, is the greatest gift of all. It is an honour to stand by anyone who has a journey like this to endure .. to help & to watch! Just to be there!

Thank you for the inspiration rob burrow now RIP mate

[@missymarie2698]

I think it’s awesome they are using Robs situation to bring awareness. It’s got to be one of the worst progressive diseases ever, so to use oneself to help others by using his own status? Absolute legends. Oh lord…please help this man and all of their efforts in hopefully finding a cure by it. No matter what- it isn’t by any means in vane. He’s helping thousands upon thousands of people.

My great uncle died of MND. He was a much older man at that time and his children were grown up with children of their own. It is so awful to see this happening to such a young man, how devastating - we must find a cure for this disease. Or at least some treatment to slow or halt its progression so people can enjoy more time.
