@Tiger_Fanatic3 I thought this deserved a thread of its own.

Was great to see Rob Burrow get a hero's welcome at Leeds. The tiny fella with a giant heart. You would think the photos below are a gee up, but that is literally how small he was - but he was still picked to represent his country for a decade, and he always starred for his club. But now unfortunately facing his toughest test of all.

Here is a good article on the man and his battle with motor neurone disease:

(MND) is an uncommon condition that affects the brain and nerves. It causes weakness that gets worse over time. @jadtiger mentioned there is no cure. I wish him and his family all the very best.
Thanks for sharing mate.
