- Rob Burrow was a 5ft5in rugby league player, playing for Leeds Rhinos from 2001 to 2017 whilst also featuring for Great Britain and England. Here are some of his greatest moments throughout his career!
Burrow was one of the most exciting players in the history of the sport, despite being one of the smallest players to ever play the game, he was also one of the toughest - he proved this throughout his career and in his post-playing days with his battle with MND.
Burrow won 8 Super League Grand Finals with the Rhinos, winning the player-of-the-match twice along with 2 Challenge Cups and winning the World Cup Challenge 3 times among many more achievements throughout his career.
What's your favourite Rob Burrow moment?
The watermark in the video was my previous channel name.
I am an old man who lives in Leeds. I saw Rob play many times and on almost every time, I came away from the match in total awe at the skill and bravery of this young man, Thank You Rob! My condolences go to his family.
I'm here because of the terrible sad news. On behalf of the Rugby League supporters in Australia, we are so sorry to lose such a wonderful man and player. Best wishes to Rob's family and close friends. We can feel your pain.
Nice one Kev. Very sad loss
Most of the gambling and entertainment pages Monday really hated the Big Freeze which happens every year on the Kings birthday long weekend. As someone whose neighbour's father went through it, I was ashamed that they were all Eff you MND fighters.
Does anyone know If Rob had the ALS/MND variant the NHS has said 90% of cases are?
Well said Lad!
Thank you. 🙏🏻 Classy words.

I don’t watch rugby but you have to admire the athleticism, speed and strength this guy possessed. RIP
I had no idea. Think I’ve just watched one of the most amazing sportsmen of all time. His leg speed, agility, vision, imagination, fitness…wow!
I dont know naff all about RL. But i knew all about Rob Burrow. To see these clips and to see him in full flow like this is thrilling. Truly. I can only imagine being a fan on the terrace witnessing such skill, speed and bravery. Brings chills as i write. Just incredible.
Yes, apart from him and Jason Robinson, we usually had to admire Welsh half backs such as Edwards, Bennett, and Davies for our entertainment on a rugby field...not seen him regularly, and from these clips clearly I had not appreciated what an athletic specimen he was...I'm awe-struck...so tenacious too...a real battler...all the way!
God gives his biggest battles to his best soldiers. Rest well.
I never watched rugby league but Rob Burrows just sold it to me. What a man
What a shame that you never watched Rugby League, These guys earned nothing like the "Hyper Salaries" of some players in the Premier League of the FA, but when these guys took a tackle, they were back on their feet and back in the thick of the play. They are true sportsmen, not like some of the "Prima Donnas" who play football who limp off the field with a "Fractured Eyelash"

RIP Rob Burrow (September 26, 1982 - June 2, 2024), aged 41
You will be remembered as a legend.
wow i didnt realise he was that good!
The Lionel Messi of the Rugby world. beautiful to watch
Yes, you can bet he was a handful on the football pitch too with that speed, turn of pace...and low centre of gravity, alongside his lateral speed and agility too.
Unbelievably slippery guy with fantastic pace and an eagle eye for space
RIP to a legend...part of the greatest rhinos team that ever was
Inspirational to everyone in Life. An example of never giving in and always giving everything against greater odds; RIP Rob and Thank You for Your example from a Rugby League fan who is proud to have seen You play live in the flesh. Morale of the story, no matter how small you can be so mighty.
This is how you remember him. Legend. RIP.
Rest in peace to a True Legend of Rugby League,Rob Burrow from Australia 😞🌹
Who ever said size matters in RL? He had the biggest heart that's what matters. R.I.P Leeds Legend
I was at the O2 on Sunday night and my wife was pointing out to me where Rob Burrow and his family were when she went to the national telly vision awards and literally within 10 seconds of her showing me I had a news alert on my phone announcing the news of Rob’s passing and people around were getting the same news on their phones , you could hear people saying “ no Rob Burrow died “ you could feel the buzz around us as more and more people were getting the news , not many people would get that kind of response but that’s the impact this man had , he was our Rob Burrow , God bless him .
Rob Burrow was literally a pocket rocket on the pitch...what a talent !
Just seen the Rob Burrow documentary on the BBC iplayer. If you don't cry watching that you're a better man than me.
What an inspirational man, family, friends and rugby league community it showed.
Also how good was he when he was a child, the tries he scored against lad's who were twice his size was unbelievable.
RIP Rob Burrow, you will never be forgotten 👍
What a brilliant player Rob Burrow was and such a humble guy a true legend of the game, RIP ❤❤❤❤❤.
My hero.
RIP Rob.
A man small in stature with the heart, courage and strength of a lion.
Truly a legend.
Wow… just wow.. what a player! Legendary warrior on and off the pitch! RIP Rob Burrow
What an exceptionally talented athlete he was. I’ve only heard of Rob recently as I don’t follow rugby but I’m sorry I didn’t know of him sooner. He’s got to be one of the best rugby players ever surely? Look at the speed and athleticism.
I am so sad to hear of his passing 😢
I don't think he'd ever make an all time world great list but that's not really important. He's a club legend for possibly the best Team of the Super League era. For his size he was sensational and a unique specimen of a man. In terms of great tries he could possibly challenge most of the other top contenders. The first time I saw him I thought Jesus he's tiny but he used it to his advantage and embarrassed a lot of big men. Just think of the level of courage you'd need to have to be up against tough men twice your size who are looking to slam you to the ground at any opportunity. RIP Rob; I don't think any public illness and death of a household name has touched me as much as yours; not just for the cruel nature of your suffering but also for the courage and positive mentality you displayed during the hardest of times.
From the clips...he looks one of the best, but I am no expert. Loved to have seen him play for Wales in the days of their glory...he would have added something to those great teams, and like Jonathan Davies...his body strength must have been immense...at 5 5 to fly at that speed...that takes real power...
🦏Great with a Big ❤.thanks for the memories,respect🙏🏾,rest easy Legend from Samoa🇼🇸
Footwork, Pace, Courage and so much more. Sad news but what a highlight reel and what an inspirational spirit.
Godbless you Rob ,thankyou for the memories you was a star on the pitch and your star in the sky will forever shine bright, , we'll never forget you x
Unbelievable player it's so sad to have lost an unbelievable player 😢😢
This is what I wanted to see today, magnificent player and imo a Giant of a man, props to fam and friends RIP.
Lovely Man …….oh and he was quite good at rugby too . R.I.P to a legend
Although I love rugby union I've not really followed league. Rob has really raised awareness of his sport too. What a fantastic player he was, his speed and skills made him a giant, and of course how he bravely fought MND until the end. Rest in Peace Rob.
It's only when you see this compilation that you realise just how brave, fast and elusive he was and what an incredible rugby brain he had. He was truly one of a kind. I loved watching him make monkeys out of the big guys.
Leeds should retire the no 7 shirt in his honour.
Agree!
Genius player, reminds me of Jason Robinson. RIP
Only English player I can think of to compare...but there some really good Welsh half backs who had similar traits, but I think he surpasses them for his ability to find a gap through his speed...linear and lateral...and that low centre of gravity...and agility to move from one direction to the other...a nightmare for any defence...how he found those gaps I don't know...never seen the like of it before...
Rip Rob burrow what a inspiration of man smiled till the end horrible evil disease my heart ❤️ goes out to his wife and kids
What a man what a player. We will never see anyone like him again. A one off absolutely brilliant. RIP Rob we have lost a diamond 💎
Amazing compilation RIP BURROW.
What a Great Player (of either Code) what a great loss. Watching these great tries brings a tear to the eye. RIP.
An absolute class man , a real world inspirational hero, and I can’t think about Rob without thinking of his great friend Kev. These two deserved each other, every time I see a photo of Rob and Kev together it makes me feel good inside, and brings a tear to my eyes. I truly can’t put into words what an inspiration they both are. Dignified and strong to the core,rest easy . #Respect
Can’t believe I just found out about this legend rest up you def are a dawg 🐶
What a player, but more importantly what a man, husband and father. Such a sad loss.
Magnificent!!!
So sad. What a man, what a fighter
Brings.a.tear.to.my.eyes.Rip.Rob.❤
Amazing how many tackles from huge guys he dances through. Quite special. Even when they grab him he flicks them off. Explains a lot about how incredible his fight had been. RIP
Wow. Players would dream of getting half this many amazing tries. The man was like greased lightning! Rest in peace ❤
‘He is an inspirational Rob Burrow’ - Yes he is, RIP legend
RIP Burrow ❤️👊🏉 Absolute great human being and player 👊💪🏼❤️
I didn't know much about Rob Burrow the player. Wow. I have never seen anyone run laterally and backwards like that in League to cause a defensive line to fracture and then pop with such speed, acceleration and balance through those holes. What a player.
Agree...unique for his ability to find holes...and then skate through them...the power in his legs too to go at that top speed...a mighty atom!
Absolutely wonderful player ..underrated in GB squads selection .RIP little fella...from a little fella
They said he was to small to play rugby league....I think he showed that they were to small to stop him....he rewrote the rules....a true legend...RIP
Rest in Peace Rob, thank you for the memories.
I loved watching Rob play, dynamic runner and playmaker... a giant of a man in such a tiny body, so sad for his family, his wife and children are stronger for they way he conducted his self in his life and career. His mam and dad can be proud of thier sons achievements in all aspects of Rob's life RIP Rob...
WHAT
A
LEGEND
Gives me goose bumps watching him. There will never be another ❤
Rest in peace rob burrow 💓
I've got to admit I'm not a big rugby fan. He looked rapid when in full flow. He looked like he was playing bulldog at school. 🎉

RIP ROB BURROWS BRILLIANT SCRUM HALF DYNAMITE PLAYER RIP ROB ❤❤❤
A favourite player,wonderful Rob,loved to watch him play
MND is just horrific. To go to from this to how he ended up was tough to watch. Hopefully they make some sort of breakthrough on it someday soon.
Reminds me of the Road Runner. That try v the stains is the best individual try yet in a GF. Little man with the heart of a lion. RIP
Goodnight, sweet Prince.
Rest in Power. 🙏
Speedy Gonzales... absolutely amazing RIP little rocket 🚀
R.I.P peace LEGEND!
Miss you Rob. Rest In Peace and thank you for the years of exciting Rugby.
RIP ... the man was a Giant
Wherever you are now, Rob, I sure hope they give you a ball. Shine for us always.
As a Fartown fan I always said if we could sign 3 players they would be Sinfield , McGuire and Burrow.
A true genius, so very sad he is no longer with us, RIP little man, you wiil be sadly missed .
