Standing ovation as Sir Kevin Sinfield delivers trophy to Wakefield Trinity v Warrington Wolves Grand Final

Sinfield received a hero’s reception when he arrived at Old Trafford at the end of his 7-in-7 challenge which has raised more than £1m for the battle against motor neurone disease. The former Leeds Rhinos captain, whose son Jack Sinfield lined up for Wakefield Trinity against Warrington Wolves in the Grand Final – brought out the trophy and also delivered the match ball. Sinfield, a seven-time Super League champion, spoke to the crowd before kick off, telling them “it’s great to be back” and thanking the rugby league community for their support.
