Rob Burrow Funeral: Hundreds Line The Streets to Bid Farewell to Rugby League Hero

Saying Goodbye to Rob Burrow: Best Friend Kevin Sinfield Flew Back From New Zealand

MailOnline 8 JUL 2024

Thousands of people lined the streets to pay their respects to former Leeds Rhinos star Rob Burrow as a private funeral service was held on Sunday.

Burrow, who died aged 41 on June 2 after a four-and-a-half-year battle with motor neurone disease, was cremated at Pontefract Crematorium following a service with many ex-team-mates, coaches and staff in attendance, including best friend Kevin Sinfield.

Sinfield flew back from New Zealand, where he has been with England’s rugby union squad in his role as skills/kicking coach, for the service, with fellow former Leeds players Jamie Jones-Buchanan, Ryan Hall and Matt Diskin among those also present.

The 43-year-old was granted compassionate leave by England head coach Steve Borthwick and missed Saturday’s first Test against the All Blacks to bid farewell to Burrow, with whom he raised millions of pounds for motor neurone disease charities.

The funeral procession passed by Featherstone Lions’ ground where Burrow played rugby as a young boy, and slowed again through Featherstone near to where he played junior rugby.

Five cars were present on the cortege – the hearse was followed by wife Lindsey and their three children Macy, Maya and Jackson, alongside his parents Geoff and Irene.

The cars arrived and slowed into Pontefract Crematorium, passing by family and friends for the final time before a haka was performed as Burrow was carried out of the hearse.

Fans were asked to stay away from the crematorium but well-wishers shed tears of sadness and smiled with happy memories as Burrow took his final route from Castleford to Pontefract.
