'Very rare you lose someone so special' ❤️ | Kevin Sinfield's emotional tribute to Rob Burrow CBE

I wish you could have seen the outpouring of love I think we all lose special people but it's very very rare you lose someone who's so special to so many different people and as you can see it's pretty raw still he's um you leave a massive Hall and I know there be a lot of people out there who are heartbroken this morning on the news from yesterday A lot of people from the M andd Community will be heartbroken this morning um but he cared about everybody and what's really really important is that Rob bur continues to live forever and our team I'm sure the M andd community and everyone who's supported us previously we'll make sure that Rob's name is at the Forefront of everything we do going forward but he's to see what he's done the last four and a half years you know I saw and we're amazed at some of the things he did in the Rugby field but to see some of the things he's done the last four and a half years is um has been unbelievable and the respects and love and um admiration I've got for him um couldn't be any higher the inspiration he's given everybody across the UK who's who's been across this story um it will live in the Memories Forever and further a field I've had messages from Australia today yeah me too um you know guys were played with um guys who coached us have you know sent us the best wishes and um the thoughts and you know it's a really sad time for everybody involved um the burough family especially with um how courageous they've all been and then to come here today and see some of the fruits of Rob's work um he was so proud of this and yeah um I've heard they're going to try and build it in record time now CU that's what Rob did he he broke records and and um he wanted people to have a better outlook on life he wanted people to have hope he want to find a cure for this disease and building this Center and the work he's been able to do over the last four and a half years will ensure that those who come after him um it'll be a far better Journey CU when we were doing the blue Peter thing the other week when they said to the little kids a couple of rugby league Legends are come to train you jumped up and said Rob burrow straight away and I thought they're probably too young to have seen him play definitely and there'll be people that will benefit from this Center that that may not even even associate him as the rugby player but will just benefit from here yeah and and they will and and you know I'd urge anybody if you don't remember Rob bur as a r player going take a look because you'll be amazed at the guy like he was the super human Superman and a game of big strong athletes and um you know I'm I'm sure there'll be a big for a Rob in this building and I'm sure there'll be some little kids who walk through with parents and grandparents and relatives who who ask who's that and uh I'm also very very sure the answer that we'll get is he was a legend behind this building and some Legacy for him to leave um yeah we you see we're pretty heartbroken this morning but um I'm a special guy what speaks volumes to me is the fact that he was determined that today should go ahead not a day should be lost yeah absolutely he's um that's Testament to him he's you know it'll be he'll be looking down on us now and he'll be so proud of uh today be so proud of his his family and to Jeff and iron and Joan and CLA for turning out and and being here he'll be um yeah he'll be Smiler like he always did
