Rob Burrow has no regrets about playing rugby league and would not discourage his children from following in his footsteps.
The former Leeds and Great Britain scrum-half is now confined to a wheelchair and unable to perform basic functions without help as motor neurone disease takes an increasing hold of his body.
Former rugby players are 15 times more likely to suffer from MND than the average person according to a new study, but Burrow, who was diagnosed with the disease in December 2019, is not entirely convinced by the findings.
"It was such small sample so I cannot really comment," Burrow told the PA news agency. "More research needs to be done."
