Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Kevin Sinfield Speaking Tour
Returning to Leicester, we are delighted to be able to bring you this event and give you the opportunity of spending time with a very special person. You will hear all about the life of an achiever, an achiever who has a reason to go on and do superhuman things, things that now seem normal to him.
Kevin Sinfield, having won many championships and Challenge Cup successes as part of great teams, became one of the most successful players in rugby league history. Individual accolades include being the winner of the Lance Todd Trophy, the Harry Sunderland Trophy, and he is one of only five British players to ever win the coveted Golden Boot as well as receiving an MBE in 2014 (services to rugby league football), an OBE in 2021 (services to rugby league football and charitable fundraising) and a CBE in 2024 (services to motor neurone disease awareness).
“I am looking forward to bringing the event to Leicester, I loved my time there and can’t wait to see a few old faces.” Kevin Sinfield
Of course, we cannot give you any story of Kevin without mentioning friendships, and particularly one friendship with Rob Burrow.
They have been friends since they were 14 and 12 respectively, and went on to sit next to each other every day in the dressing room throughout 15 years of rugby at the very heart of one of rugby league’s great teams. Their friendship and camaraderie extended beyond the field, and their bond grew stronger over the years. From shared victories to facing life’s challenges.
Kevin and his team are also major fundraisers for charities associated with Motor Neurone Disease. He started by running seven marathons in seven days, but since then he has continued to push himself and others through more physical challenges to raise much-needed funds and awareness for this cruel and debilitating disease.
To date Kevin and his team have raised millions of pounds from challenges.
