RUGBY league legend Rob Burrow yesterday begged the Government to release its promised funding into motor neurone disease after the death of pal Doddie Weir.
Ex-Scotland star Doddie died aged 52 on Saturday, six years after being diagnosed with MND.
Paying tribute to the rugby union star, Rob, 40, said: “So sad to hear the news of the passing of my MND hero Doddie Weir.
“I’m sorry to say, how many more warriors must die before this stupid government give the £50million they said they would give? I’m absolutely gutted to see my friendly giraffe die.
“You are the reason for being so positive. RIP”
