I couldn’t watch it all the way through. I tend not to get emotional about people who I only know through there fame, seems false to me.
Was I sad when Diana died, shocked yes but not upset.
Occasionally though you come across someone who’s gifted and in Robs case modestly famous but who somehow manages to appear ordinary, just like us.
I wasn’t sad for RB the player, it was RB the man , he just seems so human in a way most famous people including sportsman often don’t.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer man they say, how like the rest of us is that? Who can’t connect to a man or women like that. He represents the thousands of ordinary people who suffer everyday, he doesn’t think he’s special, just unlucky.
Really sad yet oddly uplifting.
Well said, vasty.
From what I've seen Rob is the product of a good upstanding loving family, and that seems to have rubbed off on himself. During his playing days to me, whilst I acknowledged his great skill, he was just another of those pesky Rhino brats that came through at roughly the same time ie Sinfield, JJB, Peacock, Mcguire et al. Didn't you just love to hate them? How mistaken can you be. A genuine hero. Keep battling on Rob owd lad.
