| A year with MND is on BBC 2 tomorrow (Monday) at 7 p.m.
Such a tragic story.
Not to be missed, one the nicest people I have ever met.

| Well, I will watch it. Pretty sure I am not going to enjoy it.
I was totally shocked at the footage of him when Barrie and he thanked the Wigan club for the shirt sales for charity about three weeks ago.
Physically he looks just the same (as best as I could tell), but I really struggled to understand what he said.
Shocking and terribly sad.
All the best to the man.

Sadly the disease looks to have gripped him really quickly. His voice was the tell tale sign in the early days of this but on footage I saw the other day he’s now using a wheelchair and it looked a real struggle for him to be able to walk.
I’ll watch the programme tonight and hope it really helps to give this awful disease some much needed focus. As rugby league fans it’ll be a tough night watching it but he’s doing this to help others by raising awareness.
What a legend.

OMG, in a wheelchair!!!
Dreadful.
I heard recently that Doddie weir is also in a wheelchair most of the time as well.
Let's hope some good comes out of the programme
As you say, 'what a legend'.

Feel the same. Horrendous condition and a player i always enjoyed watching unless it was against us. I wont be able to watch it though as id rather remember the man and not the illness, if that make sense.

I don't want to watch it, but he has done the programme for a reason. I assume the reason is to raise awareness, therefore with gritted teeth I will be watching.
Need to sort something out to watch after to raise my spirits.
Just told my wife about the programme and she nearly started crying there and then. Going to be a tough one

| I’ll be recording this programme, it’s not something I particularly want to watch if I’m being honest but I feel it’s something I must watch. The ‘trailer’ for it was utterly heartbreaking, it honestly brought my close to tears. Mainly because Rob was one of the opposition who you just couldn’t hate, a genuine player with honest and genuine intentions who’d always be a role model.
A lot of players these days would learn a lot from him.

| Shocking to see how quickly it has progressed - he was playing rugby in January. I expected it to progress over a number of years similar to Mike Gregory. Much respect to all of the Leeds players who have shown great friendship during all of this and best wishes to Rob and his family - he's been incredible.

| Just seen an intro for the programme on BBC News at One and it's utterly heartbreaking.
