The customised trainers - which were signed by Rhinos stars who played alongside Rob - were raffled online in aid of the MND Association.

Since December, any Rob Burrow trainers they have created have also raised money for the MND Association with donations from every pair sold.

Craig, a co-director of The Pool, said: "We want to keep raising money for MNDA.

"I've always been a firm believer that if you can help anyone in any shape or form in life you should."

Craig said The Pool specialise in Leeds United custom trainers and has had orders from customers from across the globe, including Australia and Hong Kong.
