Rugby league legend Rob Burrow answers questions from sporting icons in a new podcast.

The late Leeds Rhinos player was diagnosed with motor neurone disease ( MND ) in June .

Burrow tells equestrian Zara Tindall about the best pranks he has ever played, including hiding prawns in a team-mate's car.

The remaining episodes in series two will be released on Thursday , 26 September .

At 5 ft 5in and just over 10st , Burrow was among the smallest men in Super League , but made a virtue of his pace. He says rugby taught him resilience. âIn my early career, I was told I would never make it as I was too small to play rugby," says Burrow . "That made me more determined. I always say itâs not the size of the dog in the fight, itâs the size of the fight in the dog.".
