Exclusive: ‘Hero’ Kevin On The Moment He Carried Rob Over The Marathon Finish Line | This Morning

There wasn’t a dry eye around when English Rugby Union coach Kevin Sinfield stopped at the end of the Leeds Marathon to carry his former teammate Rob Burrow over the finish line. Kevin ran the inaugural Rob Burrow Marathon, named after the ex-Leeds Rhinos star 10 days ago, pushing his friend the 26.2 miles in a specially-adapted chair, to raise money for motor neurone disease. Having reached the line in just 4 hours, 22 minutes, Kevin joins us in the studio to tell us about that special moment. While Rob, with wife Lindsey, joins us in Leeds to reveal why it was ‘a day in a million' for him.
