Very sad news, thought are with his family.

I have two abiding memories of him as a player. The try were he out paced Darren Albert at the KC and the last minute drop goal at The Shay in 2001 and then seeing Shane Richardson on Prescotts back!

But mostly he will be rightly remembered for his bravery and charity work.

RIP.

I was there that night. The drop goal was from the M62 as I recall. Poor Preckie nearly broke his back when Richo jumped him. The atmosphere was incredible and the pubs were rammed that night.

I also remember a distinctly uncomfortable look on Prekkies face when modelling the new FC shirt on the top deck of Princes Quay. This was in his second stint at the club.

Some moving tributes about, just goes to show how highly people think of Steve.

RIP Legend

Remember him kicking a last min penalty against leeds at headingley to get us a point, great player and bloke , R I P steve

RIP to a man who commands so much respect. Some magic moments for me watching this guy play, often seemed to be labouring when he was actually really motoring! Deceptive little fella, great memories.
Since finishing playing his exploits in the face of adversity were truly tremendous, and a really nice human all round.
Great player, great man, great loss.

i have already posted on two of the reports on preccies passing away,and in one of them ,i`m asking that the RFL should name the man of steel trophy,THE STEVE PRESCOTT MEMORIAL TROPHY.i was 74yrs old yesterday ,and a veteran service man,but each time i read one of the posts ,i still get tears in my eyes.preccie will rip it up in gods team .

I remember that well. The game in which Tony Smith broke his leg. I was jumping around the living room when that went over.

His form in his final season before he injured his knee was outstanding, I recall many thinking he must be in contention for the man of steel. How fitting it would be for that trophy to now be named after him.

On the applause or silence debate, I can think of no more a fitting tribute then people making up their own minds about what the man warranted as a mark of respect. Hearing the applause start and then spread around the ground had me in tears. My partner, who didn't really know who he was summed it up perfectly when she said it was as if 25000 friends of his were in the stadium. Gutted that the man himself has gone but its important that his legacy and work that he's done for communities continues. My condolences to his family and friends. RIP Steve and thanks for the memories.

I think the term 'Legend' is a bit over-used these days. But if one guy warrants this title it is Steve. Not necessarily for his playing achievements but his achievements as a 'man' as a human being! True, true Legend in my eyes. Where the guy got the strength from god only knows. A true inspiration.

I think that the Hull v Saints game should be made into the Steve Prescott Memorial Trophy match, similare to what we used to have against Castleford for the Roy Waudby trophy

Great shout!

I am sure everybody has seen this and signed it , but wouldnt do any harm to publicise it again

Ive been reposting it on our forums as well

it would be a great tribute if we could pull this off

Done.

done

Done and I've also posted the link on Facebook as not everyone reads these forums.

Done, really hope the RFL listen to the fans and honour this great man

A book of condolences is expected to be at the KC retail store from Wednesday for supporters to add messages.

James Clark just said on Radio Humberside that it's hoped that a memorial service will be held on Sunday 1st December (didn't mention the venue).

A true hero both on and off the pitch.

Granada News ran a nice feature tonight on Steve Prescott with commentary from Paul Sculthorpe who was obviously upset. It was good to see a Hull FC shirt displayed as part of St Helens' Town Hall commemoration to Steve.

The Steve Prescott Foundation website now has a page to allow people to post messages of condolences and their memories of Prekkie.

Although everyone knew this news would eventually arrive, it was still a big shock to hear of his passing a couple of hours before Saturdays game, it was a moving occasion at the KC, with the spontaneous applause being a more fitting tribute to the man and his memory.

Condolences to family and friends.

RIP Steve Prescott - LEGEND

So humbling and sad, but your memory will always be one of uplifting tenacity and simple, pure goodness.

RIP, Steve.

Courageous, determined and inspirational.

RIP Prekkie.

Deepest sympathy to his wife & children.
