Watch the moment Kevin Sinfield carries Rob Burrow over the finishing line to complete Leeds Marathon

Kevin Sinfield and Rob Burrow reduced people to tears after completing the inaugural Leeds Marathon. The pair were cheered on by thousands of well-wishers as they made their way around the track, starting and finishing at Headingley Stadium.

Sinfield had pushed Burrow throughout the marathon, adding to his list of incredible achievements in his attempts to raise money for Motor Neurone Disease. However, with the finishing line in his sights, Sinfield stopped.

After doing so, Sinfield, who was captain of the legendary Rhinos 'Golden Generation' of which Burrow played a major part, lifted his friend out of his seat and carried him over the finishing line, prompting huge cheers from those in attendance at Headingley.
