- 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.

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!
RIP Rob Burrow
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.
God gives his biggest battles to his best soldiers. Rest well.
Only heard about Rob after word come out about his passing (I'm an American with an interes tin the NRL), but holy s:#( what I'd have given to see this cat live. Truly Box office stuff. And then, of course, to deal with ALS in the matter he did sets him in a category of champion I can only dream to be within half a mile of. Vale, Sir, Vale.
I don’t watch rugby but you have to admire the athleticism, speed and strength this guy possessed. RIP
There will never be another RL player like Rob Burrow. He was unique. I don't think he knew what the word fear even meant. His small stature was his best weapon. He had amazing pace, a brilliant rugby brain and such a low centre of gravity. If he got a yard from a defending player forget it. There was a try on the cards. Nobody could get near him. And he showed the same incredible bravery in his battle off the field as he did on it. RIP Rob. You were loved and respected not just by the RL community, but by so many people outside of it too. Your legacy will live on and you won't ever be forgotten.
wow i didnt realise he was that good!
The Lionel Messi of the Rugby world. beautiful to watch
Extremely sad. Sending Love from Wigan 💙
Amazing compilation RIP BURROW.
RIP to a legend...part of the greatest rhinos team that ever was
Wow… just wow.. what a player! Legendary warrior on and off the pitch! RIP Rob Burrow
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"
@@terrywright7470 If you want less of that your better off watching womens football to be honest
RIP Rob, what a total legend in life.
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.
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.
This is what I wanted to see today, magnificent player and imo a Giant of a man, props to fam and friends RIP.
Rest in peace to a True Legend of Rugby League,Rob Burrow from Australia 😞🌹
🦏Great with a Big ❤.thanks for the memories,respect🙏🏾,rest easy Legend from Samoa🇼🇸
RIP Rob Burrow (September 26, 1982 - June 2, 2024), aged 41
You will be remembered as a legend.
Magnificent!!!
Rob Burrow was literally a pocket rocket on the pitch...what a talent !
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 😢😢
What a brilliant player Rob Burrow was and such a humble guy a true legend of the game, RIP ❤❤❤❤❤.
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 👍
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 .
Can’t believe I just found out about this legend rest up you def are a dawg 🐶
Footwork, Pace, Courage and so much more. Sad news but what a highlight reel and what an inspirational spirit.
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 💎
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!
Rip Rob burrow what a inspiration of man smiled till the end horrible evil disease my heart ❤️ goes out to his wife and kids
Unbelievably slippery guy with fantastic pace and an eagle eye for space
Lovely Man …….oh and he was quite good at rugby too . R.I.P to a legend
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
Wow. Players would dream of getting half this many amazing tries. The man was like greased lightning! Rest in peace ❤
What an unbelievable player this guy was. Truly amazing.
My hero.
RIP Rob.
A man small in stature with the heart, courage and strength of a lion.
Truly a legend.
What a Great Player (of either Code) what a great loss. Watching these great tries brings a tear to the eye. RIP.
What a player, but more importantly what a man, husband and father. Such a sad loss.
Rest in Peace Rob, thank you for the memories.
Thank you for this. What a player!
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.
Phenomenal. RIP to a legend
WHAT
A
LEGEND
A magician of the game, absolutely electric!
Great video, thank you.
So sad. What a man, what a fighter
Brings.a.tear.to.my.eyes.Rip.Rob.❤
Absolutely wonderful player ..underrated in GB squads selection .RIP little fella...from a little fella
Genius player, reminds me of Jason Robinson. RIP
‘He is an inspirational Rob Burrow’ - Yes he is, RIP legend
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.
RIP Burrow ❤️👊🏉 Absolute great human being and player 👊💪🏼❤️
RIP Rob you will be missed by millions godbless 🙌
What a player and what a person. RIP
Crowned player and fighting man, rip Rob 🙏
Rip rob
R.I.P peace LEGEND!
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. 🎉
Who ever said size matters in RL? He had the biggest heart that's what matters. R.I.P Leeds Legend
sorry to admit this but this is the first time ive seen rob perform and I am amazed at his skills, he is such a talented guy. I say is as opposed to was as I believe he is still out there somewhere showing off his skills, sleep well fella😇
What a player; what a man. RIP
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.
Glad I came here to watch this RIP
I've always been a Rugby Union man and, despite knowing of Rob Burrow and his courageous battle, I had never seen him play. His acceleration and change of direction are so impressive. What a player. Condolences to his family and friends.
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.
Goodnight, sweet Prince.
Rest in Power. 🙏
Wow what a player he may have been little but he had incredible pace and strength.
RIP ROB BURROWS BRILLIANT SCRUM HALF DYNAMITE PLAYER RIP ROB ❤❤❤

Legend. say no more xx
What a player
Sublime legend , 💔
i know lots will be viewing this after the sad news on sunday but there was another side of robs game thats worth mentioning
he was fearless...in this video there was enough high shots on him that didnt deter him but i remember with joy him being kept at arms lenght by the biggest prop they had as he attempted to fight back after a cheap shot with keith senior laughing like hell at the 10 inch and 6 stone difference between the 2 or the perfect hit on jamie thackery that dumped the 17 stone prop on his arse...there are many other occasions which made him a joy to watch
A true genius, so very sad he is no longer with us, RIP little man, you wiil be sadly missed .
RIP Rob Burrow!
Absolute legend leaving class players flatfooted super Rob ❤❤❤
😢😢😢
