Messages of condolence from Warrington placed at Rob Burrow tribute

Fans have been gathering at the stadium, at which he made his name as a legend of the sport, since news of his death was sadly announced on Sunday.

Thousands of flowers, rugby shirts and messages have been laid in tribute to the late Leeds Rhinos following his brave battle against motor neurone disease.

Burrow, 41, was diagnosed with MND in 2019, two years after he retired from the sport.

Roxy and Rob Jones announced that they would be transporting flowers and tributes from Warrington to Headingley for anyone who wanted to pay their respects.

The couple waiting outside Halliwell Jones Stadium between 4pm to 5.30pm on Tuesday to collect any flowers before driving over to Leeds.

“There were loads of people there from other clubs,” said Rob, who found the tributes moving.

“I felt proud to be there for ourselves, but also for the people of Warrington too.

“I would go again today if I could.”

Roxy and Rob collected 15 bunches of flowers, including bouquets featuring the Warrington Wolves logo, and several letters from fans.

Hats and tops from The Wire were also placed among tributes from other clubs and fans.

One message from a Warrington Wolves fan placed at Headingley stated the impact Burrow had on them.

“He inspired me to keep fighting my mental health, even though he never knew it,” the message read.

“His grit and determination both as a player and the way he fought MND for four and a half years, with that same grit and determination combined with his positivity and humour, are what inspired me to keep fighting my mental health.”
