Featherstone are mourning the loss of their record points-scorer Steve Quinn, who has died at the age of 64.
Quinn, who began his career at York in 1970, amassed 2,656 points for Rovers through 75 tries, 1,200 goals and 10 drop goals in 393 appearances from 1975-88.
"It is with regret that we learnt this morning of the death of Steve Quinn following a period of illness," the club said in a statement.
He helped Featherstone to their first league title in his second season at Post Office Road in 1976-77 when he broke the club record for most goals and points in a season.
Most famously, Quinn kicked the winning penalty as Rovers lifted the Challenge Cup at Wembley in 1983 with a 14-12 win over hot favourites Hull.
