Rest in Peace - Lord John Prescott: 1938 - 2024

Hull KR are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Lord John Prescott. John sat on the clubs board during the period 2006-2010.

Hull KR owner Neil Hudgell paid tribute to John. “Everyone knew the public John, but we were fortunate enough to get to know the private side of him. He was a kind, warm and incredibly funny man, who we will greatly miss.

"His contribution to the club and the area was significant over many years, with tangible evidence of his contribution across the city and beyond, We will miss his fantastic humour and stories of his run ins with various world leaders that entertained us all so much in the boardroom on gameday.

"Our thoughts are with his Wife Pauline, two boys Jonathan and David and all his family and friends."
