Rugby League icon Kevin Sinfield completed an emotional Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon by carrying his former team-mate over the finishing line.
Sinfield ran the inaugural marathon named after the ex-Leeds Rhino player on Sunday pushing his dear friend the 26.2 miles distance. And after reaching the line at 4 hours and 22 minutes, Sinfield picked up Burrow out of his chair to carry him the final few metres to a rapturous ovation from the crowds.
Speaking to BBC Radio Leeds, an emotional Sinfield said: “I did London three weeks ago and that was unbelievable, but today…it’s beat London. I know it’s not a competition, but the people of Leeds really came out and I’ve never seen anything like it.”
