Rob Burrow's disability van was vandalised while he was out for a Christmas meal with his family, the former rugby league star's father has furiously revealed.
The 40-year-old, who retired from the sport in 2017, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2019. Burrow was honoured at the recent Sports Personality of the Year ceremony, winning the Helen Rollason Award.
Burrow's dad Geoff shared details of the despicable act of vandalism, calling the perpetrator "scum of a person". "Well oh well - my family went out, with my wonderful Son Rob, for a lovely meal at Rockello’s in Glasshoughton Castleford tonight," Geoff Burrow wrote on Twitter. "Unfortunately a disgrace of a person decided to scratch all over Rob’s Disability van. "How low are some people hey ! Sleep well you scum of a person."
