Robert Burrow is an English professional rugby league footballer for the Leeds Rhinos of Super League. An England and Great Britain representative, he has spent his entire professional career to date with Leeds. At 165cm (5'5) tall and weighing less than 11 st (70 kg), Burrow is extremely small by rugby league standards, and was known for many years as "the smallest player in Super League". Despite this, he is one of the most successful players in the competition's history, having won a total of 7 Super League championships, two Challenge Cups, been named to the Super League Dream Team on three occasions and won the Harry Sunderland Trophy twice.
Burrow played for the Leeds Rhinos from the interchange bench in their 2004 Super League Grand Final victory against the Bradford Bulls. As Super League IX champions, the Rhinos faced 2004 NRL season premiers, the Bulldogs in the 2005 World Club Challenge. Burrow played from the interchange bench, scoring a try in Leeds' 39-32 victory. Burrow played for Leeds in the 2005 Challenge Cup Final at scrum half back in their loss against Hull F.C.. Later that year he played for the Leeds Rhinos at stand-off half back in their 2005 Super League Grand Final loss against Bradford Bulls.
