RIP Steve, a true RL legend

Very sad news. A true inspiration to everyone. Condolences to his family and friends.

R.I.P.

Now confirmed on BBC website, a sad day indeed.

As soon as I saw the news on twitter I burst into tears. I've never met the guy but what he has done in the last 7 years for others is nothing short of incredible.

We have lost a hero and a gentleman today

Such sad news, a true inspiration to all. RIP Steve Prescott.

RIP Steve. Inspirational man and a phenomenal ambassador for all rugby league stands for.

Heartfelt sympathies to his family and friends. What a great bloke he was. Did so much for St Helens, for rugby league and for those who like him were struggling against adversity.

RIP Steve Prescott.

Tragic news for his family and friends. He fought for and extra 7 years when the doctors gave him months, completed some awesome fundraising feats - not for himself but for others. He will be remembered for his selflessness and bravery. RIP

Terribly sad news; deepest condolences to his family and friends. RIP Steve Prescott.

RIP, a true inspiration, he could have given up the fight years ago, but he chose to fight on for his kids, his family and to raise money to help others.

Sad loss for the sport and mankind in general, what a truly inspiration guy for generations to come RIP Steve.

RIP Steve Prescott.

RIP to a true legend, a gentleman and inspiration for all. I have never, ever heard a bad word said about him from anybody. Testament to how well respected, revered and loved he was by anybody who knew, or knew of him.

I hope it's not too late to honour Steve with a minute's silence in Hull at 14:30.

RIP Steve, you'll be missed.

Very sad day for the sport. A guy who had an amazing attitude on and off the pitch.

An inspiration to us all. RIP.

Awful, awful news. The word legend gets used too often but in the case of Steve Prescott he truly was. Great player on the field and a true inspiration off. I feel honoured that I got to sing at Linzi and Steves wedding a few years ago. So sad. I' m another in favour of renaming the Man of Steel Trophy. RIP

An inspiration for many and a massive example of some of the best that humanity can do. Whilst hammered with disease he has made strides and efforts that will hopefully help others overcome what he has had to endure.

Brought a tear to the eye and a lump to the throat. I'm sure he will be remembered by many today.

Desperately sad news. A true RL legend. Noticed this online, think this would be an appropriate tribute if anyone wishes to consider it... www.ipetitions.com/petition/name ... -prescott/

I think an award named after him along similar lines would be a great tribute in Rugby League.

Such a tragic loss, he was a great man who has a legacy that will inspire many future generations. RIP Steve.

Not unexpected, but still deeply saddening.

A great player, but for his extraordinary, brave - heroic - attitude and actions over the last seven years, he really has left an inspiring legacy.

Heard as I sat down to watch the kick off. As the applause started I could feel a tear role down my cheek. A true inspiration.

Sad news, and thoughts and condolences go to his family.
