Steve Prescott MBE

A huge congratulations must go to Steve Prescott for being honoured in the Queen's new year's honours list. Steve will be awarded an MBE for services to rugby league and charity.

Steve played for St Helens, Wakefield and Hull FC but was diagnosed with a rare form of stomach cancer in 2006 and given 12 months to live. Four years later, he is still going strong and has raised thousands of pounds for both The Christie Cancer Hospital and the Rugby League Benevelant Fund, which helps sick and injured rugby league players, via the Steve Prescott Foundation.

From A Tap on the Twenty, we would like to congratulate Steve and his helpers and wish him every success with future charitable events.
