He died on Holiday in Sardinia I believe, but it is such sad news and what a great player he was in the halcyon days of the early 80's. He signed for a world record fee at the time from his beloved Featherstone. Really nice guy to meet and talk with too and what a great half back he was. Steve was a player who amazingly changed the rules of the game when he was able to play for both Featherstone and us in the 1982 Challenge Cup run where he later played in the Final and replay at Elland Road! The rules were changed after that and players could then only play for one Club in each years competition. Another loss from the FC family, condolences to his family and friends, such a shock, nice bloke!
RIP STEVE EVANS

More bloody awful news, one of my favourite players from the Bunting era. He was only 59 as well, absolutely no age to leave us.
RIP Steve, king of the intercept.

"In fact, the days of us signing any players from across the river are over. Our fans are loyal, passionate and only interested in one club. Taking players from our nearest rivals doesn't fit in with that brief."
Shocking news. I had the pleasure of meeting Steve a few times socially after he retired from playing and he was a genuinely nice bloke and great company with many a story to tell. Condolences to the family. RIP Steve
What terribly sad news, no age at all. Classy attacking centre or wing, everytime I rewatch the '85 final still think he might just make it. RIP and condolences to family and friends
