Kevin Sinfield: ‘You wouldn’t believe the inspiration I’ve taken from Rob’

Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield have collaborated on a children’s book to highlight male friendships.

One of Rugby League’s greatest players Rob was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in December 2019.

Speaking to 5 Live’s Naga Munchetty, England rugby union defence coach Kevin Sinfield said: “We have, we had a great friendship when we were playing but since then, the connection we’ve had through the tough times, they’re the bits that really forge you together.â€

“I’ll do my best to try and change the future for Rob and for whoever comes afterwards.â€

Rob’s wife Lindsey Burrow added: “The key message that we wanted to get from the book was that celebration of friendship, love and camaraderie that Rob and Kevin have been so fortunate to have.â€
