He's also made a cheeky reference to best pal Kevin Sinfield.
Rob Burrow has said completing the Leeds Marathon, which was held in his honour, was one of the best days of his life.
He decided to take part in the marathon to raise even more money and, using a specially adapted wheelchair and being pushed by his former Leeds Rhinos teammate, Kevin Sinfield, he took part in the event. Kevin pushed him around the route, but, at the end, lifted him up and across the finish line. Speaking to BBC Look North, Rob said: "By the time I was finished with the run I felt like I'd been running the whole way. It really did take it out of me but I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I'm so happy to be involved in the first one of my marathons.
