Rugby league legends Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield are given the freedom of Leeds for their charity work.
Rugby league stars Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield have been granted the freedom of Leeds at a ceremony in the city.
Pontefract-born Burrow, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2019, said it felt "amazing" as he always had Leeds "as my city". Bob Bowman, the chief executive of the Leeds Rhinos Foundation, accepted the honour on Sinfield's behalf, as the former loose forward was unable to make the ceremony due to commitments linked to his new role with the England rugby union team.
