Just hearing that Steve sadly passed away this morning.

As a Wigan fan, I wanted to come on here an express my sadness at Steve's passing. A true legend, not only on the field but as a man. To battle on through such an awful disease for so long is a credit to Steve's character and will.

He'll be deeply missed by everyone in the RL family.

RIP Steve Prescott

Absolutely gutted. The words legend and hero are often overused but Steve really is both of those things. What he has achieved is incredible.

Sad sad news. I was told this morning but hoped it wasn't true.

He's a true legend and great inspiration!

RIP Steve true Hero

I'm absolutely devastated by the news of Prekkie's passing. His fight against cancer was inspirational and will continue through the Steve Prescott Foundation. He was a hero and a legend. The rugby league community is in mourning today. RIP Prekkie, thank you and God bless.

What an inspiration to everybody the bloke was and should always be. To fight the way he has whilst always thinking of others and raising the money he has for charity is simply amazing. He will always be a hero to everyone involved in the game of rugby league.

RIP.

It certainly puts everything into perspective when someone like Steve leaves us, a great guy and a true hero. RIP Steve

A true man of steel, inspiration and a hero, RIP.

So sad. Ste was one in a million and an inspiration to all. Now a true Saint. RIP Ste.

terrible news. RIP Steve you fought your illness with great tenacity and dignity

Just seen this on the virtual terrace too. A sad day, but I'm glad that he will get a huge tribute from the England and Hull Fans today.
My thoughts are with his family and all those who were privileged to know him personally.

I only ever saw him on the Rugby field or during charity events but he was an inspiration for many and will continue to be so.

Very sad news, R.I.P Steve.

Really Sad news , An inspirational figure .

RIP Mate

Sad news indeed, RIP.

Just heard the news from John Wilkin, a bit of a shock, Steve Prescott legend on and off the field, will be known for a very very long time for his charity achievements.......R.I.P.

A very sad day for everyone associated with RL. May I send my sincere condolences to Steve's family. The guy was a true legend and should be recognised by the RFL.

Great player and even greater man. Condolences to his family and friends.

Gutted about this. I really hoped he had beaten his illness. The RFL should step forward and honour him by renaming the Man of Steel after him. He has been an inspiration to many of us for many years.

Deepest Condolences to his Family at this time, Steve fought a brave fight, may He now Rest in Peace. A real sad loss, Steve joins others who suffered and fought bravely to the end like Mike Gregory

just seen this.in tears here.
so sad
RIP STEVE
TRUE HERO.
All the best to his family.

He may have died, but he'll never be dead. He was an absolute inspiration to us all and judging by Twitter his reach went well, well beyond the sport. He'll leave a lasting legacy, not only in his charity work, but in his response to the disease. A magnificent man.

What a terrible shame .

God Bless
R.I.P.

absolutely gutted

Rename the mos
Steve Prescott man of steel

So sad. But will be remembered as an absolute legend of a man.

Devastating news, no words can describe Steve Prescott as a man. A true inspiration to many and he will be sadly missed.

RIP Steve.
