Description

Rugby league legend Kevin Sinfield talks to Eddie Hearn about being a father, coach and charity ambassador. They discuss how raising money and awareness for Motor Neurone Disease has been the most fulfilling work he’s ever done and how it’s changed him as a person.

He learned early in his career that he relied on the team to do well and the way to get the best out of those around him was to try and support them. He played rugby league for England and Great Britain and captained Leeds Rhinos to seven Super League championships and two Challenge Cup wins.

Kevin has taken the sense of camaraderie from team sport in to retirement taking on astonishing challenges to support one of his best friends and fellow Leeds player Rob Burrow who has MND. Whether it’s running seven marathons in seven days from Glasgow to Manchester, or seven marathons in seven days in seven cities he’s raised millions of pounds along the way.

“The best thing when I look back is not the money, it's not the trophies, it's the friendships and the memories I've got. And I do know that if I fell on some difficult times there'd be some people I played alongside for a number of years... would be there for me and I don't think you can put a price on that.”
