A SPECIAL night for rugby league fans takes place in Widnes next month to raise money for Rob Burrow.

Robin Whitfield, former international rugby league referee and player and Tommy Noon, radio presenter, will host the event at Widnes Cricket Club.

There will be a panel of current and former players from all north west clubs for a Q&A session as well as a sports quiz, raffles and auction on Friday, March 20.

Tickets are available on the bar now.

Former Leeds man Burrow was diagnosed with MND before Christmas.

Since then the world of rugby league has rallied round to raise money for him and his family.
