Arsene Wenger claims Man United have lost their 'quality, confidence and spirit' after Man City's 3-0 derby win - and admits he feels sorry for Red Devils
The book helped me understand how much Rob still wants to be treated normally. And so even after we talk about difficult subjects he tells me about his enduring love of The Office and how he watched Line of Duty with Lindsey while “trying to work out who ‘H’ was before the final episode – to no avail. I loved watching it with Lindsey because she never has a spare minute. The book opens with the raw emotion of Burrow's diagnosis with MND and the reactions of his family and closest friends. The hardest part to read was when Burrow explained that he wouldn't see his kids grow up and his son wouldn't remember him. As a parent I found that pretty heartbreaking and will admit I did shed a tear.Burrow, who had already won the Harry Sunderland Trophy as man of the match in the first of the Rhinos' previous Old Trafford victories over Saints in 2007, scored a brilliant individual try in the first half, then laid on the match-winner late in the second for Ryan Hall with another thrilling scamper.
Although I am not a sports fan, living in Leeds, of course I have heard of Leeds Rhinos. I’ll be honest though, I couldn’t name any of the players. Sport has never been my thing but hearing of Robs diagnosis and also losing a work colleague who was a friend from the same illness, I wanted to read this to help me understand more not only about the illness but how someone comes to terms with being told something so life changing. Burrow’s mind is as sharp as ever and he uses a piece of technology called Eyegaze to respond. His eyes identify individual letters on the screen and then, slowly, he builds words to formulate an answer. When he is ready Rob turns to us with a smile. It is his way of letting Lindsey and me know that, while we have been yakking away, he can reply. Rob fixes his gaze on the send button and his texted answer is spoken by an approximation of his voice – recorded during the earliest months of his illness. He read a book aloud so that the technology could create a memory bank of words said by him. Birmingham boss Wayne Rooney will face Leicester's Jamie Vardy live on TV just 16 months after becoming embroiled in their wives' 'Wagatha Christie' case SOUL OF SPORT: A wet and windy Stade de France played host to a Rugby World Cup semi-final classic. KEVIN QUIGLEY captured all the emotions in Paris Rob Burrow is one of the greatest rugby league players of all time. And the most inspirational. As a boy, Rob was told he was too small to play the sport. Even when he made his debut for Leeds Rhinos, people wrote him off as a novelty. But Rob never stopped proving people wrong. During his time at Leeds, for whom he played almost 500 games, he won eight Super League Grand Finals, two Challenge Cups and three World Club Challenges. He also played for his country in two World Cups.
