Rob Burrow's family, Kevin Sinfield and Josh Warrington view tributes at Headingley Stadium

The family of Rob Burrow have said “his strength is keeping us going” as they attended an emotional groundbreaking ceremony for the Motor Neurone Disease centre bearing his name, one day after his death was announced. Ex-rugby league player Burrow died at the age of 41 after a four-and-a-half-year battle with the incurable illness. On Monday the groundbreaking of the Rob Burrow Centre for MND at Seacroft Hospital went ahead as planned at Burrow’s request, with his family saying he “would be looking down and smiling”.
