It is evident from his successful stint as Leicester Tigers defence coach, during which he helped them win the Premiership, that Sinfield brings the same commitment to his work. As far as autobiographies go I've read better but this was still entertaining and interesting. I felt the flow of the book ebbed away towards the end - which is in no way a reflection of the man himself, just the way this was written and presented. There were some stories which scratched a surface and didn't delve much deeper which I would have liked but there was a lot to cram in I guess.

But Kevin Sinfield is no ordinary sportsman. A one-club legend of Leeds Rhinos, who has now crossed codes as a defense coach for Leicester Tigers, Kevin Sinfield is a rugby icon. But in recent years has shown heroism of a very different kind through his selfless and extraordinary fundraising for Motor neurone disease (MND), the terminal illness that has affected his best mate and former teammate Rob Burrow.Speaking to BBC Radio Leeds last week, Sinfield said he hoped the experience would be "horrible and unpleasant". Sinfield is being accompanied along his route by a physiotherapist I am proud to be part of the MND community, the people who are living with the impact of MND who I have been privileged to meet since 2020 inspire me every day and we will never stop banging the drum for MND until we find a cure.”

England will need every bit of it as they look to rebuild six months out from the World Cup after a disappointing end to Eddie Jones' tenure as head coach. The Darby Rimmer MND Foundation funds and assists research into the disease as well as creating a network to help provide support for people diagnosed with MND. This year he’s been thrown further into the spotlight as he’s been named the defence coach of England’s Rugby Union team ahead of the World Cup and Six Nations championships. I'm grateful to be a tiny help to raise awareness." Every 7km section has to completed in less than 60 minutesHe helped me a bit. I was explaining to him about rugby union: it's always a contest for the ball, you can lose the ball at any time. My Name’5 Doddie Foundation funds research into the causes of MND and potential treatments while also supporting families affected by MND. Former Liverpool, Bradford City and Bolton Wanderers footballer Stephen Darby and close friend and British Forces Veteran Chris Rimmer have partnered together to launch The Darby Rimmer MND Foundation.

Sinfield and Burrow shared an unbreakable bond as players with Leeds Rhinos, winning every trophy there was to win and solidifying themselves as giants of the game. Yet in the two years since Burrow was diagnosed with the disease, that bond has strengthened further. It is not difficult to see why. “To my amazing friend Kev, you don’t realise the impact you have had on me and the whole MND community,” Burrow said as they sat alongside each other. This is taking the word challenge to the next level – but it still doesn’t even touch on the challenge which people with MND face every day. Kevin Sinfield I am proud to be part of the MND community, the people who are living with the impact of MND who I have been privileged to meet since 2020 inspire me every day and we will never stop banging the drum for MND until we find a cure." — Kevin Sinfield But his career on the pitch is only part of the story. Alongside Sinfield was a small but indomitable scrum-half, Rob Burrow. As Rob's health has tragically declined in recent years due to Motor neurone disease (MND), Sinfield has set himself a series of extraordinary endurance challenges, including running seven ultra marathons in seven days and over 100 miles in a single day, that have raised awareness and millions of pounds for the cause of MND. In the process, Sinfield has won the hearts of a nation and an OBE from the Queen.In rugby league you don't have to win the ball. You don't have to spend any time on your set-piece. In union you have to spend a lot of time [on set-piece]." He really is the best of men. A humble account of the one of the most down to earth sportsmen of our generation. His honesty immediately helps you feel like you can relate to his journey. And his stories of friendship, especially to Rob Burrows, are inspiring. The team sits down with Kevin ahead of his busy schedule, for an exclusive first interview on what his future looks like and if he will continue his fund raising efforts for MND. There are an estimated 5,000 adults in the UK currently living with motor neurone disease. Every day, an average of six people are diagnosed with MND. The MND Association focuses on improving access to care, funding research, and campaigning for those people living with, or affected by, MND. What he and a small group of friends, along with the wider sporting family, did has changed the landscape for this awful disease. So far he has raised over seven million pounds, ensuring his friend's family will be taken care of as well as enabling scientists to begin serious research into finding a cure and improving the quality of life for many others.
