Dennis Stevens (30 November 1933 – 20 December 2012) was an English footballer, born in Dudley, Worcestershire who played in the Football League for Bolton Wanderers, Everton, Oldham Athletic and Tranmere Rovers. [1]
Stevens began his career with Bolton Wanderers and established himself in the side as a scheming inside-forward, winning the FA Cup in 1958. He joined Everton in 1962 as cover, shortly before Bobby Collins moved to Leeds United. [2] He became a vital member of Everton's midfield, being an ever-present in the League over two seasons [3] [4] and winning a League Championship medal in 1963, quickly followed by winning the 1963 FA Charity Shield. [5] After leaving Everton, he played for Oldham Athletic and Tranmere Rovers. [2]
Stevens was the cousin of Manchester United and England player Duncan Edwards who died as a result of the Munich air disaster. They played against one another at Old Trafford on 18 January 1958, where Bolton were beaten 7-2 by United, less than three weeks before the tragedy. [6] Stevens died on 20 December 2012 after a long illness. [7] [8] [9]
