Kevin Sinfield, one of the most successful players in rugby league history. Having won many championships and Challenge Cup successes as part of great teams, he also earned individual accolades as winner of the Lance Todd Trophy the Harry Sunderland Trophy and he is one of only five British players to ever win the coveted Golden Boot as well as receiving an MBE: 2014 (services to rugby league football) OBE: 2021 (services to rugby league football and charitable fundraising) CBE: 2024 (services to motor neurone disease awareness).But it is the understated way in which he does them, the amazing mindset and humbleness in which he carries them out. He has a reason and that’s what keeps him going and on March 22nd 2025 in Hull we have the pleasure of hearing all about it.
Of course, we cannot give you any story of Kevin without mentioning friendships and one friendship in particular with Rob Burrow.
They have been friends since they were 14 and 12 respectively and went on to sit next to each other every day in the dressing room throughout 15 years of rugby at the very heart of one of rugby league’s great teams. Their friendship and camaraderie extended beyond the field, and their bond grew stronger over the years. From shared victories to facing life’s challenges.
