  4 years ago today, Richard Burns won the WRC championship with Subaru.
  
  He discovered he had a brain tumour after passing out on the way to Rally GB in 2003, and never gave up on treatment.
  
  But he never woke up from the coma he lapsed into recently. He passed away this morning.

  Requiescat In Pace, Burnsie.

  Sigh, the sporting world lost 2 famous sons last week. Soccer legend Geroge Best also passed away over the weekend.
