A
B
Thank
you
Lord
mayor
for
opening
the
meeting
and
welcome
everybody.
Counselors
guests,
Lord
Lieutenant,
hi,
Sheriff
I
welcome
our
children's
mayor,
Mason
Hicks
to
join
us
today,
mayor
of
West
Yorkshire
Tracy
brabin
I
recognize
Jamie
Jones
Buchanan,
the
irrepressible
jjb,
who
played
alongside
Robin
Kevin
back
in
the
day,
Bob
Bowman
who's
here
in
Kevin
sinfield's
place
to
receive
the
award
Gary
edlington,
the
chief
executive
from
the
rhinos
I
know.
B
We've
got
guests
here
from
families,
we've
got
the
Leeds
Hospital
Charities
and
we've
got
the
motor
neurone
Disease
Association
as
well,
and
and
everybody's
welcome.
For
this
really
special
meeting
and
one
I'm
so
proud.
We
can
do
as
a
city.
The
summons,
for
the
meeting
reads
that
the
Rob
and
Kevin
have
been
awarded
the
freedom
of
the
city
in
higher
recognition
and
high
appreciation
of
the
honor
and
distinction
brought
to
the
City
by
their
outstanding
sporting
achievements.
B
Their
charitable
work
with
the
multi-neurone
Disease
Association
and
support
to
The
Wider
multi-neurone
disease,
community
and
I'd
just
like
to
reflect
on
on
on
those
achievements.
Rob
and
Kevin
and
Jamie
were
part
of
the
real
golden
generation
of
lead
rhinos
when
they
were
always
finishing
above
castle
for
tigers
in
the
in
in
in
in
the
Super
League,
one
that
causes
great
debate
in
my
world
of
kippax
and
Mathway
they're.
B
Incredible
sporting
achievement
for
our
city
for
the
number
of
hundreds
of
appearances,
the
two
challenge,
cups,
the
Super
League
titles
and
the
three
World
Cup
challenges
will
go
down
as
one
of
the
greatest
runs
of
sporting
achievements
in
the
city
and
Kevin,
of
course,
was
Captain
from
most
of
that
time
and
his
Rhino's
Record
highest
point
scorer
and
the
impact
we
often
talk
about
as
a
council.
When
we
look
at
our
when
we
look
at
our
high
performing
athletes,
we
look
and
successful
athletes
and
sports
men
and
women.
B
Bob
might
touch
on
this
when
he
when
he
speaks
on
behalf
of
Kevin,
but
I
know
Kevin
sinfield
has
said
he
will
not
stop
fundraising
until
a
cure
is
found
and
I
think
from
what
we've
seen
so
far.
We
know
that
he
will
stick
to
that.
It
is
curable
it
will
be
curable,
we've
just
not
found
it
yet
and
that
research
and
that
funding
for
the
research
in
the
center
is
so
important.
I
know.
B
Over
seven
million
pounds
has
been
raised
through
Kevin,
sinfield's,
incredible
endurance,
events,
the
result
of
of
the
work
that
Kevin
and
Rob
have
done
and
others.
The
government
has
committed
50
million
pounds
to
the
research
as
well
in
Leeds,
with
Elite
hospitals,
charity
we're
working
towards
the
Rob
Borough
Center
for
motor
neurone
disease
as
a
hub
of
innovation
and
excellence
in
treating
multinuro
disease
in
the
city
and
as
part
of
the
fundraising,
we'll
see
for
the
first
time.
B
In
a
long
time,
a
marathon
been
running
the
city
and
it'll
be
the
first
Rob
Borough
Marathon
to
help
raise
money
towards
that
and
I
know
among
our
guests
and
among
our
counselors.
There
are
people
who
will
be
running
that
Marathon
as
well
Kevin's
achievements
of
the
we're
seeing
things
like
the
seven
marathons
in
seven
days
in
the
Autumn
of
2020.
B
in
2021,
running
101
miles
from
Leicester
Tiger's
ground
to
headingley
and
late
last
year,
over
two
million
pounds
raised
by
running
seven
Ultra
marathons
in
seven
days,
I
think
for
those
of
us
who
get
out
of
breath
running
to
the
bus.
We
know
we'd
understand
what
a
huge
Challenge
and
commitment
that
is
I.
Think
we're
really
pleased
the
council
are
able
to
honor
Rob
and
Kevin,
and
we've
talked
about
their
achievements
on
the
sporting
field
and
the
things
for
the
multi-neuron
disease.
B
But
I
know
the
thing
that
has
touched
people
in
the
city.
Most
is
that
bond
of
friendship
between
them
that
was
formed
playing
for
the
leads
rhinos
has
really
gone
through
since
Rob
diagnosis
to
fighting
for
a
cure
to
multi-neurone
disease.
That
is
that
that
friendship
has
touched
people
so
much
that's
the
reason
we
wanted
to
give
the
freedom
of
City
to
Rob
and
Kevin
together
and
I'm,
really
proud,
on
behalf
of
the
council,
to
move
the
motion
that
they
admitted
to
the
freedom
of
the
city
of
Leeds
foreign.
C
C
This
evening's
motion
that
Mr
Rob
Burrows
MBM
Mr
Kevin
sinfield
Obi,
be
made
Freeman
of
the
city
of
Leeds
in
recognition
of
all
their
outstanding
sporting
achievements,
their
charitable
work
with
the
motor
neural
Disease
Association
and
their
tremendous
support
to
The
Wider
mnd
community
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
also
pass
on
heartfelt
congratulations,
heartiest
congratulations
not
only
to
Rob
and
Kevin
themselves,
but
to
their
families,
who
are
I'm,
absolutely
certain,
so
so
proud.
Today.
C
It's
always
a
challenge.
Seconding
emotion
like
this,
because,
of
course
the
leader
has
taken
are
all
the
great
things
most
of
the
great
things
that
one
could
say.
So
it's
always
a
bit
of
a
challenge
to
get
to
go.
Second,
and
my
heart
goes
out
to
those
that
are
going
to
go.
Third
and
fourth
as
well.
C
I'm
sure
there'll
be
something
left.
One
could
ask
why,
indeed
in
2023,
creating
new
honorary
Freeman
is
relevant.
The
days
when
being
a
Freeman
was
the
only
way
to
vote
in
elections.
All
that
gave
rights
to
heard
livestock
down.
Brigitte
have
long
passed,
although
it
been
quite
the
site,
perhaps
that
Mr
sinfield's
next
ultra
marathon
to
have
seen
that,
but
the
honor
is
still
relevant.
It
is
still
important.
C
But
it's
true,
but
beyond
this
you
are
both
as
councilor
Lewis
says,
the
absolute
personification
of
true
friendship
that
quality
that
is
so
Central
to
every
one
of
us
here
in
Leeds
and
indeed
to
all
good
Yorkshire,
Folk
and,
above
all
else
in
the
Merit
of
that
tremendous
example
of
true
friendship
and
Fidelity,
and
constantly
going
above
and
beyond
for
one
another,
I'm,
truly
honored
to
Second
today's
motion.
Thank
you.
D
D
D
D
the
glory
years
of
Leeds
rhinos
that
put
Leeds
rugby
league
back
firmly
on
the
map,
and
it
will
never
leave
there
now.
So.
My
point
here
is
that,
with
those
two
fantastic
careers
you
had
nothing
left
to
prove.
There
was
no
need
for
new
Challengers,
but
that's
not
in
the
nature
of
either
of
you.
A
new
challenges,
circumstances
presented
themselves
and
you
made
the
most
of
these
opportunities
in
these
adverse
circumstances.
And,
of
course,
as
has
already
been
mentioned,
demonstrate
to
the
strength
of
true
friendship
at
the
end
of
Kevin's
ultra
marathon
challenge.
D
He
said
the
experience
had
showed
him
that
our
country
cares
about
those
who
need
them,
and
those
of
them
indeed
are
very
much
in
need
of
this
support
and
how
true
those
words
are
many
years
guys
to
friend
from
Leeds
where
he
chosen
to
play
Union
and
not
League,
and
he
told
me
that
in
uni
and
when
you
get
tackled
you're
steam
tithe
with
your
team
stays
with
you
and
protects
you,
whereas
in
League
they
all
run
away.
I'd
wait
for
you
to
stand
up
again
and
continue
the
fight.
D
D
While
Kevin
was
touched
by
how
much
the
country
cares,
the
two
of
you
were
shown
the
rugby
league
players
also
care
and
also
help,
but
in
this
regard
you
have
shown
that
rugby
league
has
true
ambassadors,
rob
you
recently
paid
tribute
to
your
family
in
supporting
you
and
being
a
beacon
of
hoped
families.
I
hope
I've
got
your
words
correct
there.
Well,
this
is
certainly
true.
I
would
say
you
have
been
the
Catalyst.
Your
drive
has
resulted
in
families
not
feeling
as
alone
as
they
would
be,
and
now
getting
more
of
the
support.
D
They
desperately
need.
It's
easy
to
talk
of
turning
adversity
into
opportunity,
but
so
rarely
has
this
ever
been
achieved.
We
are
all
aware
of
the
huge
benefits
your
efforts
have
jointly
brought
to
the
mnd
community
with
much
needed
funds
and
support
other
side
benefits.
You
have
become
those
ambassadors
and
rugby
league
never
really
gets
enough
of
this
publicity
that,
in
my
view,
being
biased,
leads
and
rugby
league
deserve.
D
The
question
has
often
whether
if
the
tables
had
been
turned,
would
you
rather
be
prepared
to
do
the
same
for
Kevin,
as
he
has
done,
for
you
I?
Think
this
is
an
unfair
question.
You
see.
Kevin
took
Rob's
playing
number
of
seven
to
inspire
the
challenge
of
running
seven
Ultra
marathons
in
seven
days.
D
and
running
13
Ultra
marathons
in
13
days.
Should
you
be
asked
that
question
again?
I
would
suggest
you
do
as
any
competent
politician
would
do
and
avoid
answering
the
question
you
are
two
of
the
most
deserving
people
to
become
Freeman
of
the
city
of
Leeds
and
I
am
truly
honored
and
very
very
pleased
to
support
this
motion.
E
In
a
time
when
the
phrase
heroic
is
often
misplaced,
there
can
be
no
finer
use
of
the
phrases
heroic
and
heroes
to
confirm
the
outstanding
work.
Both
Rob
and
Kevin
have
undertaken
not
only
to
raise
the
awareness
of
the
impact
of
mnd,
but
to
also
raise
the
overwhelming
levels
of
charitable
donation
to
tackle
what
is
an
evil
and
wicked
disease
that
leaves
individuals
and
families
with
challenges
on
a
daily
basis.
Most
of
us
cannot
comprehend
or
even
begin
to
have
the
resilience
to
cope
with
both
Rob
and
Kevin
have
been
brilliant.
E
Their
sporting
achievements
are
the
stuff
of
Legends
and
they
have
shown
what
sporting
gentlemen
they
are
in
the
way
that
they
have
behaved
and
the
fairness
and
comradeship
they
are
brought
to
each
and
every
game
of
rugby
league
that
they
have
played
with
Rob
and
Kevin.
Are
inspirational
people
who've
worked
tirelessly
over
recent
years
to
battle
this
evil
disease
and
to
put
others,
families
and
individuals
crushed
by
this
disease,
first
seeking
better
therapies
and,
ultimately,
a
cure
for
mnd
in
the
longer
term.
E
It
is
often
the
case
that
politicians
cannot
articulate
with
the
same
power
or
emotion
the
concerns
and
the
passion
of
those
directly
involved
in
this
fabulous
campaign
and
I
would
agree
that
I
cannot
articulate
better
words
than
those
Kevin
gave
the
BBC
personality
of
the
Year
Awards
and
he
said
well,
Rob's,
probably
the
most
inspirational
bloke
in
the
UK.
At
the
moment.
E
He
has
inspired
us
all
to
be
better
friends
and
in
sport.
The
connections
you
make
in
your
playing
careers,
the
camaraderie,
the
teammates
you
get
and
your
friendships
don't
stop.
When
the
whistle
goes.
Rugby
and
sport
is
powerful
enough
to
bring
communities
together.
We
witnessed
a
nation
that
cared
about
the
mnd
community.
E
I
cannot
put
it
better
than
that
and
the
maliburra
independent
group
is
honored
and
privileged
to
support
this
resolution
and
to
pledge
our
total
support
to
the
campaign
led
by
both
Rob
and
Kevin
and
many
others
to
do
everything
within
our
power
to
work
towards
a
cure
for
this
vile
disease.
Thank
you,
Lord,
mayor.
F
During
that
time
he
played
in
the
team,
they
won
the
Super
League
eight
times
the
challenge
cooked
twice:
the
World
Cup
Club
Challenge
three
times
the
league
leaders
Shields
three
times
he
played
493
times
for
the
Rhinos
scoring
111
points
in
his
last
match.
He
played
in
the
Grand
Final
Leeds
beat
Castleford
at
Old,
Trafford,
I'm
I'm.
F
Sorry,
if,
if
that's
the
leader,
but
it
was
Castleford,
you
know
Rob
one
of
one
of
the
heroes
in
the
club
of
Heroes,
but
on
the
19th
of
December
2019
Rob
revealed
that
that
he
had
been
diagnosed
with
military
neuron
disease.
I've
got
to
say
it.
That's
a
sad
thing
for
anybody,
but
somebody
who's
been
a
sportsman.
It's
really
it
and
I
always
cooked
with
it
has
been
brilliant
and
he
and
his
family's
this
culturally,
has
been
fantastic.
F
Kevin
simfield,
who
was
born
were
born
born
in
Oldham,
and
it
turns
out
I
think
was
it
as
a
Schoolboy
was
an
older
Oldham
athletic
football
fan.
So,
unfortunately,
both
both
the
rugby
team
and
the
football
team
are
not
as
good
as
they
once
were
in
Oldham
he
signed
for
leads
in
1997
playing
his
last
match
in
Europa
League
was
in
2015
in
the
Super
League
Grand
Final,
which
he
captained
the
club
to
Victory
securing
the
treble.
F
For
the
first
time
in
the
club's
history
in
1999
his
breakfield
year,
he
made
21
appearances
in
2003.
He
played
in
the
college
Cup
Final,
the
Grand
Final
victory
of
2004,
the
World
Cup
challenge,
victory
of
2005
and
then
challenge
Cup
Final.
It
was
2005.,
see
super
great
rap,
League,
final
loss
of
2000
and
so
on.
The
list
goes
on
and
on
and
on
through
its
most
puts
the
close
most
successful
period
playing
it's
less
game
in
215
2015
in
the
Super
League
Grand
Final
Kevin
played
521
times
for
Leeds
and
scored
3967
points.
G
Thank
you,
Lord
mayor
Lord,
mayor
Lord,
Lieutenant,
hi,
Sheriff,
very
honored,
guests
and
Friends.
It's
a
great
honor
to
stand
here
this
evening
to
speak
in
support
of
the
motion
to
make
two
remarkable
human
beings
honorary
Freeman
of
our
great
City,
my
colleagues
and
the
leader
think
they've
got
problems
going
first.
Second,
third
and
fourth,
try.
Fifth,
you
really
have
run
out
of
things
to
say
thank
you
James
and
Co.
G
G
G
When
you
see
Rob
and
Kevin
on
the
TV,
and
you
look
in
the
faces,
there
is
it's
etched
on
their
faces
that
love
and
respect
and
comradeship
and
loyalty
that
each
feels
for
the
other
I
think
the
comment
was
made
earlier.
The
question
would
raise
if
things
were
reversed,
would
the
same
things
be
happening?
Well,
of
course,
because
these
are
Lads
so
forged
careers
together
from
young
men,
reach
the
highest
honors
in
the
game
and
now
are
clearly
the
best
and
deepest
of
friends
and
I.
G
Everybody
in
this
room
shares
a
common
name
and
it's
a
love
of
leads
and
it's
a
passion
for
the
city
and
it's
to
progress.
The
city's
best
interests-
and
we
go
about
that
in
really
different
ways,
and
we
can
often
Clash
on
that
subject.
But
the
one
thing
we
won't
clash
on
is
the
depth
of
love
and
respect
for
the
city
that
we
all
share
and
that
love
and
respect
is
encapsulated
in
these
two
remarkable
human
beings.
G
G
H
The
Lord
mayor,
councilor
Robert,
W
gettings
MBA
JP
in
the
chair,
resolved
unanimously,
that
under
and
in
pursuance
of
the
powers
conferred
by
section
249,
subsection
5
of
The,
Local,
Government,
Act
1972,
the
council
admit
Rob
burrow,
MBE
and
Kevin
sinfield
Obe
to
be
honoree
Freeman
of
the
city
of
Leeds
in
recognition
and
high
appreciation
of
the
honor
and
distinction
brought
to
the
City
by
their
outstanding
sporting
achievements.
Their
charitable
work
with
the
motor
neuron

I
The
best
city
in
the
world,
of
course,
I,
am
an
outsider
from
the
dark
side
of
the
river,
but
it
feels
like
home.
I've
represented
the
best
city
and
I
can't
see
how
to
get
more
from
leisland
to
receive
this
summer,
thanks
to
my
entire
family
for
their
help
and
support
throughout
the
three
years,
especially
my
wife
and
kids,
who
give
me
reason
to
never
give
in
finally
to
Kevin,
who
has
gone
above
and
beyond
for
his
mate
and
accept
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Leeds,
the
place
where
my
dreams
came.
True.

Thank
you,
Lord
mayor.
Can
you
all
hear
me
what
a
privilege
to
represent
Kevin
today
to
accept
the
award?
I
can
see
the
headlines
tomorrow.

of

city,
small

on
behalf
of
obviously
you'll
know
seriously.
It's
a
great
privilege,
you
know,
I
was
so
pleased
when
Kevin
asked
higher
course
can
in
Norway
speak
for
Kevin
and
I
know
what
I
attempt
to
do
so.
J
What
I
can
say
is
that
if
Kevin
was
here-
and
he
is
saddened
not
to
be
here
and
email
exchanges
have
been
included
in
over
the
past
few
weeks,
he
expresses
that
that
sadness
not
to
be
here
to
accept
the
award
for
the
city
that
he
he
really
does.
Love,
and
many
of
you
will
have
heard
him
often
say:
Oldham
is
his
town,
but
Leeds
is
his
City
and
he
really
does
love
the
place
and
all
about
it.
So
he
is
deeply
as
he
would
say.
If
he
was
here
and
I.
J
Think
many
of
us
who've
heard
him
speak,
would
say
that
Kevin
would
open
with
a
very
genuine
massive
and
heartfelt
thank
you
and,
and
it
would
really
mean
it
so
to
speak
as
myself.

I,
just
think.
It's
fantastic
that
my
city,
the
city
that
I
was
born
raised
on
a
council.
I
stayed
here
in
the
city
lived
all
my
life
worked
within
the
city,
all
my
life
that
my
city
has
decided
to
honor,
both
Rob
and
Kevin,
with
the
freedom
of
the
city.
J
J
Both
players
and
staff
and
people
who
are
associated
with
the
club
is
a
tremendous
privileged
indeed,
and
yet
Kevin
and
Rob
truly
exemplify
their
kinship
and
friendship
and
the
effects
it's
had
on
Leeds
as
a
city,
and
it
will
do
Beyond,
but
certainly
recently,
with
their
work
around
raising
awareness
funding
for
martin-neuron
disease
Etc.
So
I
am
honored
like
I,
say
to
to
be
here.
I
find
it's
tremendous
that
some
things
come
full
circle
as
well,
because
it'll
be
great
as
well
moving
forward.
J
It's
been
mentioned
earlier
that
the
May,
the
14th
this
year
will
have
the
marathon
named
in
Rob's
on
a
commencing
from
headingley
stadium
and,
what's
great
about
that
as
well,
is
that
two
people
who've
been
met.
Freeman
of
the
city
today
that
marathon's
working
with
a
great
organization
called
room
for
all,
obviously
added
up
by
Mike
Tomlinson,
and
it's
up
there
on
the
board
that
you
know
it
comes
full
circle.
The
legacy
of
June
means
that
that
draws
together
as
well
with
two
of
the
great
spine,
Heroes
Downs
of
the
city,
to
move
forward.
J
Little
bit
of
advice
from
me.
There's
a
lot
of
talk
about
the
matter
and
there's
a
lot
of
talk
about
this
little
incline
that
comes
out
of
the
otley
towards
Leeds.
My
only
advice
to
people
like
myself
who
are
running
it
is
I'll,
certainly
if
I'm
struggling
and
any
others
be
thinking
of
the
courage,
grit
and
determination
that

Shaw
throughout
all
his
playing
career,
but
obviously
over
and
above
since
his
diagnosis
in
2019.
