[@nez9751]

As a lifelong super league fan, watch this man if you haven’t already , 5’5 playing every week with other guys twice his size. One of the greatest players we have ever produced . RIP 🫡

[@bexp436]

Thats what true courage sounds like. RIP Rob.❤

[@MJMS88]

Never cried as much. This man is a true inspiration and I mean a TRUE inspiration. Honestly I will never forget these words.

[@stevezxr6196]

God bless you, Rob. My dad had MND back in 1977, and he died 1979! I was 10 years old its just brought back memories off his struggles with MND and how horrible the disease is, I really hope people keep the awareness about MND, I feel for all, you have left behind especially the 3 little ones, as we was 3 too at the time, I give my up most regards to your family RIP 🙏

[@fredemason8244]

Rob, you've left your mark, not only on the disease, but on rugby league, the world in general, and many many peoples hearts. RIP my friend.

[@Rebecca_Bailey]

Jesus I’m sobbing and I don’t even know the guy, he put up such a fight and with such courage and determination, that smile is something I’ll never forget, rest in peace Rob Burrow 💔

[@sandramarshall518]

Like you I too have watched these tributes in tears. He was a very special lad from Yorkshire, his wife, children and family can be so proud of him. His is a face I will never forget.

[@jgh548]

Bloody hell, that put a lump in the throat. What a wonderful note to leave on, despite the awful nature of his departure. Pure class.

[@Beverley-yf5ec]

Hearts are breaking all over the UK, and probably all over the world. Rob, even in your final weeks, you still fought like a trooper and continued to to put your amazing family, and others, first. Such strength, courage, passion and genuine love could only have come from you and your big heart ❤️❤️❤️. You've absolutely blown me away, and restored my faith in humanity 🌟 You may have now left us, but my goodness, what an incredible legacy you have left behind 👍 R.I.P Rob Burrow 🙏

[@paulgrennan9442]

You have left a mark on the world. RIP ROB from Ireland 🇮🇪

A tear is rolling down my cheek what a true inspiration.

[@ianmillington8599]

God bless Rob, rest easy lad

[@ethanpowell7428]

MND is a horrible disease Rest In Peace Rob

[@stillgame9027]

Wow, what a man, a son, a husband, a father, a brother, a friend, a legend, a fundraiser and such a selfless man and so much more.

[@SleepingLionUK]

I bawled like a baby watching this documentary. As a resident of huddersfield who has previously lived in warrington and widnes, i love rugby league and we was an amazing player. I for one will ge travelling to Leeds to line the streets as rob takes hus final journey, as i hope many others will too

[@ashleylockey963]

What a true inspiration he was all the money he raised for MND he is a legend rest in peace rob.

[@veronicapearson5174]

This is so very sad,rest in peace Rob,love to your beautiful family ❤

[@johngilbert4308]

Dear Rob and your beautiful family and Kevin, thank you all for showing the world what courage and bravery and self belief and love can create 🙏. The male of the human species is so often a lesser being. Rob and Kevin, you have both shown to the world what true and unconditional love and friendship can achieve. As Maja Angelou once said: People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel. 🌈🌈 My teaching will be forever inspired by you Both. You have brought and you continue to bring, tears of joy to my old eyes 🦋💪🌹🌹

[@spreckley1988]

This man in an inspiration. RIP to one of the greats !

[@_tealovaa_]

“By the time you are watching this, I will no longer be here.” Those words absolutely broke me, Rob didn’t deserve this awful kind of disease, nobody deserves it, he was such a healthy and kind person and MND just teared it all up apart. I’m proud that he managed to keep fighting for 4 years, but it really digs a hole in my heart that he never won the war. Fly high Rob, you definitely didn’t deserve any of this at all, you was such a great, aspiring person and you still were, you bet a whole legacy. Thank you.

[@neil5006]

What an absolute legend. Rest well Rob, you done your family so proud x

[@gregfilby4678]

I can’t stop watching this and think, cheerfulness in the face of advertising, when Rob smiles at the end. A true man of all men, a true legend and a true inspiration ❤️

[@alanpashley3227]

Wow to his family you have been so strong he is loved by so many 👏👏👏🇬🇧♥️

[@robertturner3218]

Small in stature but a giant on the field unbelievable person RIP rob you will never be forgotten all the love in the world to the burrow family ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@amblerproductions]

R.I.P Legend from Yorkshire i hope we can some how get a statue of this man!

[@porta7340]

RIP absolute legend in the Rugby league scene

[@liamc7097]

My grandad had MND. I never got to meet him. My mum and her siblings had to watch it take him away slowly. I can't imagine having to do that for my own parents, i would crumble. This disease really shows how strong people can be. Rob you truly are an inspiration, and the £15 MILLION pounds you and Kevin have raised could just be the funds that find the cure to this truly cruel disease. RIP big man.

[@mattchristie2286]

So very humble with still a passion & zest for life and totally inspirational .... RIP Mr Rob Burrow 😔 🤍

[@leecoleman8046]

God bless you and your family and friends Rob. Legend!❤

[@easygoingbloke]

I'm a Rugby League fan. i'm from what is classed as Lancashire. Its a rival to Yorkshire, but one thing you know about those Yorkshire lads is their fight their pride their passion and their love of what they're doing. Full of guts and never give in or give up. Rob Burrows was that and more. I watched him play live with hands over mouth saying he's gonna get hit hard but he never did cause they never caught him he was so quick, so brave, always of the opinion a good little un can always beat a bigger big un and he did so many times. Inspirational on and off the field. His mark on life cannot be overshadowed or under stated. Courage Daring to dream and do at the same time. Success was given for him with those abilities. My love yes i say love for him respect admiration will never die or go away. He has left a huge hole in Life, I don't know of anyone who cannot be inspired by his words and his quote. He didn't have a single enemy in one of the most powerful games on earth played by big men who were and are giants, and the biggest giant of them all, was a small little lad from Yorkshire who wore number 7. RIP from a Warrington fan who has seen many a good little un in his time following League but my god they broke that mould when Rob Burrows came along. Thank You for Mighty Deeds on and OFF the field. Legend. I think Leeds Rhinos RLFC have to seriously consider retiring the number 7 shirt now in their club in honour.

[@jamesrobert994]

Living with an incurable disease myself. Listening to the message of Rob, a Yorkshire man like myself made me shed a tear and I dare not say i cried, I’m blubbering and wondering how short life is. My advice is to always go forward no matter what you go through, we don’t know what’s round the corner. So enjoy life. Please for everyone, do it.

[@ladyred5468]

how scary it must be to feel your body and muscles give away, slowly loosing your ability to do anything but still being fully aware, knowing you won’t make it knowing your mind still wants to live on if only your body could keep up 😢
