The Steve Prescott Man of Steel award



Origins


The awards were started in 1977 when David Howes, the Rugby League's public relations officer, organised sponsorship worth £3,000 from Trumanns Steel Limited for awards in six different categories; Trumanns Man of Steel, Division One Player of the Year, Division Two Player of the Year, Coach of the Year, Young Player of the Year and Referee of the Year. The awards were voted on by the members of the rugby league press.[1]
The first awards were made at the end of the 1976–77 season with the innaugural award winners being:[1]



  • Trumanns Man of Steel - David Ward, Leeds


  • Division One Player of the Year - Malcolm Reilly, Castleford


  • Division Two Player of the Year - Ged Marsh, Blackpool Borough


  • Young Player of the Year - David Ward, Leeds


  • Coach of the Year - Eric Ashton, St Helens


  • Referee of the Year - Billy Thompson

The awards have often bypassed the top try scorer, winning captain or great International player. The award is club and country blind - the success of the player's club is irrelevant and winners include Australians and a New Zealander.


From 2008 onwards the awards have been voted on by Super league players.



Name change


Former England player Steve Prescott died of cancer in 2013, aged 39.[2] Following a short campaign, a petition with over 12,000 signatures was sent to the Rugby Football League, calling for the Man of Steel award to be renamed in Prescott's honour.[3] In March 2014, the RFL officially announced that the award would be called the "Steve Prescott Man of Steel" from the 2014 season onwards.[4]
