Rob Burrow's dad Geoff has made a fresh plea to the government to stump up the £50million they pledged towards motor neurone disease (MND) research following the death of Doddie Weir.
The government insists it remains committed to spending 'at least' another £50m to help find a cure for the disease which kills six people a day in the UK.
Scottish rugby great Weir had campaigned alongside Leeds Rhinos icon Burrow and fellow sufferer Stephen Darby, who played football for Liverpool and Bradford City among others, prior to his death on Saturday, aged 52.
