In this special episode, we pay tribute to former England international Rob Burrow who has sadly died at the age of 41 after a lengthy battle with motor neurone disease.

Burrow spent his entire rugby league career with Leeds Rhinos and helped them win eight Super League titles.

He retired in 2017 but two years later it was revealed Burrow had been diagnosed with MND and, after he raised millions to help build a new care centre for MND patients alongside former team-mate Kevin Sinfield, his death was confirmed by his former club on Sunday evening.

The Prince of Wales has paid tribute to Rob Burrow, who has died aged 41, describing him as a “legend of Rugby League” who had a “huge heart”, adding: “He taught us, ‘in a world full of adversity, we must dare to dream’.”

A statement from Leeds read: “It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of our beloved son, husband, father, brother and friend.

“Rob has always been a true inspiration throughout his life whether that was on the rugby league field or during his battle with MND (motor neurone disease).

“He never allowed others to define what he could achieve and believed in his own ability to do more.

Darren Powell joined Mark Saggers on Talk to pay an emotional tribute to his friend and legendary rugby player Rob Burrow, "I don't know where to start!"

Former England International's George Chuter and Ian Hunter also payed tribute.
