The Steve Prescott Bridge 1
Formally the “Saints Way Bridge” that links the town centre with the St Helens RLFC ground. The bridge was renamed in January 2013 to commemorate the former St Helens, Hull FC and Wakefield player Steve Prescott, who sadly lost his battle with a rare form of cancer in November 2013, aged just 39. Steve was only given months to live in 2006, yet shortly after his diagnosis he launched the Steve Prescott Foundation and in the following years raised more than £500,000 for cancer and rugby charities! The extreme ways which Steve raised the money is nothing short of super human, given that during this time he was receiving treatment for his illness. Steve remains an inspiration and legend in the local and rugby league communities and his name lives on with his foundation and this bridge.
