‘Sleep well you SCUM of a person’: Rob Burrow’s dad hits out at vandals after they scratch ex-rugby league star and MND charity fundraiser’s wheelchair-accessible van in Castleford while they were out for a Christmas meal
Rob Burrow’s dad has reacted furiously after the rugby league icon’s wheelchair-accessible van was vandalised in Castleford on Friday night.
Rob, 40, has Motor Neurone Disease and is a fundraiser for others with the condition. He was made an MBE in the 2021 New Years Honours List for his services to the sport and the MND community.
But the Leeds legend’s van was scratched up while his family were out for a Christmas meal in West Yorkshire, according to his father, who posted on Twitter about the harrowing incident.
