Couldn't believe it when I read it earlier. The word hero is banded around too much, Prekkie truly deserved such a title! Stomach cancer for 7 years (after only being given 6 months!) then going on to raise half a million through countless marathons and other charity events! And as a player I bloody loved him! Will never forget this try! youtu.be/KVADlNTionU (skip to 3:09). RIP Steve, Man of Steel!

So sad that he has died.....hopefully the man of steel award will be named after him. RIP Steve

RIP Prekkie.

The spontaneous applause today seemed entirely appropriate for the man.

RIP Steve,

Honoured to have watched you play, honoured to have spent a small amount of time in your company, both humbled and inspired by the way you handled the cards that life dealt you.

Deepest condolences to family and friends.

tHought I would just put down in words what I feel, as someone who is 4 years into remission I know how hard it is to just get up in a morning, He has proved that no matter what you may face, incredible things are possible, what he achieved in 39 years most of us couldn't achieve in 39 lifetimes. Steve will live on in our hearts and will inspire generations to do great things. Thank you Steve for all you did, not only charity but Also for my beloved Fc, Good night, god bless, old faithful

Very sad news.

A great player and a great man. His bravery and efforts for others while fighting his illness were astounding.

Sympathy to Steve's family at this very sad time.

Thanks Steve, a true Legend.

Proud to shed a tear for a man I shed some blood with @hullfcofficial Your applause tribute was magnificent

Devastating news , thoughts with his family and close friends . Words can't really paint a true picture of the man and the battle he fought hard and head on for the past few years . A true legend and an inspiration to many many people

RIP Preckie

Courageous & inspirational as a player but as nothing to the man we saw afterwards.

Though long anticipated, the passing of Steve Prescott is a still a shock and a massive loss.

A true hero, this is such sad news. R.I.P Steve, your round up days are over, but we are still faithful to you.

A very sad loss. What an incredibly brave guy.

R.I.P. Steve. A inspiration and true gent who will be sadly missed.

Steve Prescott has shown many people how to carry on regardless no matter what life throws at you in a dignified way. R.I.P Mr Prescott.
