Yesterday 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" The former Leeds Rhinos player's close friend and former team-mate Kevin Sinfield attended the ceremony, along with Burrow's parents Geoff and Irene Burrow, and his sisters Joanne Hartshorn and Claire Burnett.
