Powerful pictures show how Lindsey Burrow takes care of her husband and rugby league legend Rob Burrow.

The former sports star, who has motor neurone disease, is being cared for by his devoted wife Lindsey after the devastating diagnosis. The pair will star in a new ITV documentary on Thursday, Lindsey and Rob: Living with MND, showcasing their day-to-day life and struggles.

Lindsey said: " You just want to do what you can, while you can, for as long as you can. He’s my husband, I want to care for him." Lindsey has been with Rob for 17 years. The pair have three young children and are teenage sweethearts, reports Mirror Online.
