People are furious after Kevin Sinfield was left off the knighthood list NewYearHonours

People across Leeds and beyond who have followed the heartbreaking story of Rob Burrow's battle with Motor Neurone Disease and fellow rugby star Kevin Sinfield's campaigning are furious tonight.

Four England Lioness stars were given knighthoods along with Queen guitarist Brian May and artist Grayson Perry.Kevin Sinfield was handed an OBE for his campaigning and charity work around MND in January 2022, but many were hoping to see the man become Sir Kevin Sinfield this time around. In his acceptance speech, Kevin took aim at the government for failing to do more to fund MND research, telling viewers 'it's not incurable, just underfunded'.@lordbumble said: "Absolutely crestfallen that Kevin Sinfield has once again been overlooked in NY honours. This man continues to shine in all walks of life, particularly in his unstinting efforts in raising money and the profile of MND research. Most of all, he is a true friend to Rob Burrow.

@hannah_thomas said: "No knighthood for Kevin Sinfield. He would have been the first name on my list #NewYearsHonours"
