Rob Burrow's dad Geoff says watching his son given the freedom of Leeds is up there with his proudest moments.
The former Rhinos halfback, who is inspiring millions with the courageousness he's shown since being diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND), was given the honour on Wednesday. Although he wasn't able to make the event due to his new role with England's Rugby Union side, Burrow's close friend, Kevin Sinfield, was also given the accolade for their outstanding sporting achievements and work to support those with MND.
Burrow's father, Geoff, took to social media as he posted on his Twitter page, "Kevin Sinfield and Rob received their Honorary Freedom of the City of Leeds awards yesterday evening. One of the proudest days of my life, Rob said, "Leeds is where my Dreams came true. Fantastic day."
