One of the most used phrases I got on the street today was... "I'm not a Rugby League/ Leeds Rhinos fan but... Rob was a legend..."

00:00 How did you feel when hearing the news about Rob Burrow?
00:03 Spot on.
00:05 And you're not a rugby league fan, what do you feel like Rob Burrow meant to the wider community?
00:11 I think he's done a lot of good for this league actually.
00:14 He really brought it to attention.
00:18 You know, so that's done a lot of good.
00:22 Plus that new building that they're going to put up, must be good for Leeds.
00:29 I mean, my heart goes out to his family.
00:31 You know, it's such a devastated disease and he's such a young age.
00:36 I saw him post last night on Facebook and I watched some of the memories and stuff.
00:42 It's just talent, it's just a waste.
00:46 I don't know what else to say. My heart goes out to his wife and family.
00:51 You know, I mean, they were loved by a lot of people and stuff.
00:56 I liked the bit where I think they did a race or something and he got carried to the finish line.
01:02 That was absolutely, I have no words to describe it.
01:05 It was just beautiful. The love that people had for him, you know, it's such a tragedy.
01:11 Rob Burrow was a fine man, very good, a true legend.
01:17 I was a bit ashamed this morning to hear that Mr Burrow had passed away.
01:23 Give me a thing for his back up all the time.
01:26 He probably looked after him and his family and all that.
01:30 He's going to be missed.
01:32 We're a good guy, he went through a lot didn't he?
01:34 I miss him because I had a family and all that.
01:37 I'm a way forward in this kind of life, so, you know, it's a shame, isn't it?
01:44 Every match now will be a tribute to Rob Burrow's.
01:47 house.
