Leeds Rhinos legend Rob Burrow has turned to groundbreaking tech to keep his Yorkshire accent - even though he now talks through a computer.
Leeds Rhinos legend Rob Burrow was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in December 2019, only a couple of years after he ended his playing career as captain of Leeds. Since the diagnosis, he has lost the ability to walk and now has to communicate through a keyboard controlled by his eyes.
Earlier today, Rob made a heartbreaking admission on BBC Breakfast about how difficult he finds it to not be a "normal" dad to his children. Despite his struggles, he is keen to raise awareness of his condition and will appear in a second documentary on BBC2 this evening.
