Geoff Burrow, the father of late rugby league star and Motor Neurone Disease (MND) campaigner Rob Burrow, has died after a short illness, Leeds Rhinos announced on Monday. Geoff Burrow was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who played a crucial role in Rob's early love for the sport, bringing him to his first game at Headingley. Following Rob's diagnosis in December 2019 and his subsequent death in June 2024, Geoff became a tireless campaigner for the MND community. He was instrumental in the development of the £6.8m Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease at Seacroft Hospital in Leeds, attending numerous meetings and championing the project with immense energy and enthusiasm.
