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 won the League Championship in 1963. After leaving Everton, he played for Oldham Athletic and Tranmere Rovers.[2]
