Stephen L Palmer (born Brighton, Suffolk on 31 March 1968) was a footballer who played in England in the 1980s and 1990s with Ipswich Town, Watford F.C. and Queen's Park Rangers.
Steve signed for QPR from Watford in July 2001 and made his debut in August of that year in the 1-0 win against Stoke City. Steve was captain and ever present in what was QPR's first season in the 3rd tier since {{subst:feason|1966-67}}. He helped Ian Holloway bring stability to the club. In all Steve made 95 league appearances for QPR, scoring 5 goals.
Steve attended Cambridge University and is currently working Tottenham Hotspur's as Academy Performance Manager.[1]
Steve broke the record for wearing every numbered shirt from 1 to 14 in the 1997/1998 season whilst at Watford.[2] He was in goal for the kick-off of the final home match (v Bournemouth) - having warmed up in goal before the game, confusing those in the stands, and completed the set by wearing Jason Lee's number 9 shirt in the final match (away at Fulham) - when Watford won the Division 2 title.
