Steve Prescott

[Marc]

Very sad news from the sporting world that Steve Prescott died today aged just 39. Diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 2006 and given months to live, he then spent 7 years raising thousands for charity.

RIP fella.

Very sad news indeed. It was very moving to see both sets of players paying tribute to him at the end of the game today.

Indeed, way to young to die from an awful disease.

Rip, one of the best full backs out there back in the day, and part of a great St Helens Team

Met Steve on several occasions including Wembley 2009, a real gent.
