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.

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

| Quote: Mike Smith "Smith pays tribute to Prescott
Hull KR CEO Mike Smith has paid tribute to Steve Prescott who sadly passed away last weekend.
The former St Helens, Hull FC and Wakefield fullback battled terminal stomach cancer for seven years and became an inspiration to many as he took on a series of gruelling challenges to raise money for charity despite his illness.
Smith was heavily involved in the organisation of the ‘Rumble on the Humber’ boxing event back in 2007 which saw Lee Radford and Stuart Fielden step into the ring in aid of Prescott and his family.
The Steve Prescott Foundation was then founded a few months after that and Smith says it was a privilege to have known someone he describes as the most courageous and humble person he’s ever met.
“Steve battled against the illness with tremendous courage, dignity and an incredibly positive attitude,” he said. “When we put the ‘Rumble on the Humber’ together we thought the response would be good, but it was actually phenomenal. Of course, everyone wanted to see the boxing but really the people who were there were there for Steve, which tells you a lot about the impact he had on people as a rugby league player and a person.
“The challenges that he took on for his Foundation were extremely tough and the fact that he managed to get through them despite his illness was incredible really. Steve didn’t know how to quit and I think most of us could only stand back and admire the way he went about his life in the past six or seven years.
“The word courageous doesn’t do him justice as he went over and above that with the things he achieved. He was also a tremendous rugby league player and the reaction to his passing from within the game shows the esteem he was held in by players, coaches, officials and supporters.
“We all support our own club but rugby league is also a very close-knit family and Steve brought that family together through the amazing things that he did for charity. He’ll be very sadly missed by everybody and on behalf of everyone at Hull Kingston Rovers I’d like to pass on our sincerest condolences to his family and friends at this very difficult time.”'" |

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

Absolutely gutted when I heard the news on Saturday, at the rugby it was hard to fight back the tears.
The guy managed to turn 6 months into 7 years and is a true inspiration to so many people. His courage and bravery was amazing and he is a sad loss.
Thoughts are with his family.
RIP Preccie.
