To a roaring crowd, the players of both teams in the Challenge Cup final lined up on the grass of Wembley Stadium united by the name and number on the back of their shirts: Burrow, 7. On a massive day in the rugby league calendar, fans paid tribute to an unlikely star of the game… small, fast and powerful and a Leeds Rhinos player to the core. But neither of the teams were from Leeds.
But the array of colours represented in the scarves, shirts and flags were proof that those leaving items in memory of Burrow represented many different teams. Warrington Wolves supporters Dennis McQuillan, his son Charlie and grandson Archie were among those paying their respects. 'Seeing Rob's passing has made a massive dent and the rugby league community really comes together in these times,' said Dennis.
