Rob Burrow's daughter tells him 'you will always be in my heart' in emotional speech

A new documentary showing Leeds Rhinos legend Rob Burrow's battle with motor neurone disease aired on BBC Two tonight. The programme showed viewers how Rob is coping with the disease and toll it has taken on his family, leaving many fans in tears.

Rob was diagnosed with MND in 2019 and has since raised awareness for the condition along with his wife Lindsey and his three children. The programme featured in-depth interviews with the family and sad questions about life after Rob.

His daughter Macy said her father is "an inspiration" and he will "always be in her heart" during an emotional speech at the beginning of the episode.
