Former Scotland and British Lions rugby union star Doddie Weir has died.
He was 52 and was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2017.
Champion. Leader. Campaigner.

Before his death in August, Bury FC legend Len Johnrose campaigned to raise awareness of MND.
In his memory, his teammates took to the pitch at Gigg Lane - and they were joined by his son, Patrick.

Today’s Burnley programme features our friend and former colleague Len Johnrose who passed away on Monday.
There will be an applause in the 16th minute for him here at Turf Moor @BBCLancsSport
We are heartbroken to tell you that our leader, Len Johnrose passed away this morning.
Len was an incredibly proud husband and father.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this very sad time.
Len Johnrose is now communicating with his family and friends using his own voice, which he banked after being diagnosed with #mnd.
The ex Blackburn Rovers and Burnley midfielder says being able to use his voice again with the help of a machine has been a huge boost.

⚪️🔵 Legends Game | Back Of Shirt ⚪️🔵
As a board we have made a decision that as this shirt is unique and special that it was only right to have @lenjohnrosetrust on the back of it.
The trust does some amazing work and Lenny filled both sets of fans hearts with joy….

On the flip side, I've become a master of quiz shows!
More importantly, with a bit of help, I'm now properly able to use my banked voice. My mood has immediately improved to pre-voice loss levels, so you can expect to see a few more rants.
Love to you all 💙🧡💙🧡💙

I especially found it difficult having visitors round, knowing that I'd be limited to the odd grunt (no change there) or nod or shake of the head. I chose instead to turn down the offer of visits, taking what, for me was the lesser of the evils.
