A sick Facebook post claimed Leeds Rhinos legend Rob Burrow had died, with the club issuing a statement to confirm this is not true.
It said: "Breaking News. Rob Burrow sadly passed away this morning at 8am. You were an inspiration on and off the pitch. Rest in peace." Leeds Rhinos' official Twitter account has since posted to confirm Rob is still alive and is "enjoying the bank holiday weekend with his family".
Their tweet reads: "Please do not share any content on social media regarding Rob. The fake account that was set up today on Facebook to spread hateful news that is totally untrue and upsetting for the family."
