Rob Burrow's disability van was vandalised while he was out for a Christmas meal with family, his father Geoff Burrow has revealed.
The former Leeds Rhinos star was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2019, two years after hanging up his boots, and was earlier this week honoured at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards, winning the Helen Rollason Award.
Dad Geoff shared details of the despicable act of vandalism on Twitter, writing: "Well oh well - my family went out, with my wonderful son Rob, for a lovely meal at Rockello’s in Glasshoughton Castleford tonight. 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."
