Burrow's dad slams honours after Sinfield snubbed for knighthood
Daily Express
|January 02, 2025
ROB Burrow's father has described the honours system as "disgraceful" after Kevin Sinfield was again overlooked for a knighthood.
Geoff Burrow led calls for his late son's friend and former rugby league team-mate to be made "Sir Kevin" in recognition of his mammoth fundraising feats for motor neurone disease research.
Kevin, 44, and fellow Leeds Rhinos legend Rob raised £16million together.
RulesRob died from MND in June at the age of 41 and last month Kevin added another £1.5million, double the £777,777 target, by completing seven ultra marathons in seven days.
He was awarded a CBE last year and Whitehall sources say another honour is not traditionally awarded within three years.
