    What a top pair of blokes, just caught a glimpse of them awards tonight, a think a lot of people, myself included, can learn a lot from them 2 how we should go about life at times……..

    To raise £13m between them is unbelievable.

    Just watched it, think someone was chopping onions cos eyes were a bit teary.

    How Kevin hasn't got a knighthood while some of the crooks in the country do is beyond me

    Read Kevin Sinfield's autobiography.

    What a man and friend to Rob.

    I met Rob Burrow after he’d just been diagnosed with MND when he was a guest speaker at our yearly Old Boys event at Hull Uni. He was funny, uplifting and very thoughtful.

    Sadly one of my close friends was battling cancer at the time and we’d raised money for both my friend/Cancer research and Rob/MND. Rob gave back all donations we’d made for him and gave them towards my friends battle and then donated himself. Magnificent fella.

    Sinfield must be knighted. The absolute epitome of leader and friend. What a guy.

    Think he has to wait as he got awarded in 2021 and it’s believed you can’t get two together too soon.
    Read an interview today with current England Union team where he’s a defence coach and they was saying that when he speaks you can hear a pin drop as the respect for him as a person and player is so big.

    I've got it but haven't started reading it yet but enjoyed Rob Burrow's book.
