Taken from the Leythers Forum a message from Robbies Mum to a close friend our" Dick Jones "
Leeanne asked me to put on here, that Rob (Robbie)had a massive heart attack yesterday morning and died later in the day.
She Requests that the family do not want any flowers, if anyone wishes, they can send a donation to the British Heart foundation.
Hope everyone respects their privacy and lets the family grieve in peace.
We asked the Millward family for today game at Leigh, (THEY WERE all there today) and they requested a minutes applause, so we did just that, plus it was a young lad, so more suitable I suppose. Robbie was a Leigh fan and it was nice to see all his mates there too today.
Without wishing to detract from what must be a horrific event for the Millward family, I just wondered if anybody on here has any worries about Ian Millward's ability to return to his post at Castleford?
Losing a child, especially so unexpectedly, could take years (if ever) to deal with and I just wonder if he would mentally be in a position to want to return to coaching or whether it will have completely numbed his enthusiasm for the game.
Apologies if that sounds in any way cold, that is not my intention.
