‘My husband Rob Burrow is up for a National Television Award for the third time - but this will be the first ceremony without him’
The last documentary Rob Burrow MBE made with his family, which was released following his death, is up for a National Television Award.
The documentary, There’s Only One Rob Burrow, produced by BBC Breakfast, was created with Burrow with the promise that it would be released after his death.
It included an incredible final message from Burrow to his family and all his supporters around the world who had given him so much strength in his battle with Motor Neurone Disease.
In the documentary, Rob said: "My final message to you is whatever your personal battle, be brave and face it. In a world full of adversity, we must still dare to dream. Rob Burrow, over and out".
Leeds Rhinos legend Rob’s third and final documentary has made the final five for the National TV Awards; it’s up against the likes of Molly Mae’s Behind It All documentary, Flintoff, and Boyzone: No Matter What.
Rob’s widow, Lindsey Burrow, said: “This is the third time Rob’s documentaries have made the short list, but this time we would love to get Rob over the line.
“This is for all the MND warriors. It will be very different this time around with Rob not with us, but it would be incredible if we could win the award for him, take to the stage with the children, and tell the whole nation how proud we are of the difference Rob made to the world.”
