With all the crap the team is in at the moment this puts a bit of perspective.
Fantastic wingers centre, underrated player. Win everything at Wigan and completed the clean sweep of medals with his Yorkshire cup win with us. Great hands, goal kicker, GB international, perhaps just lacked real pace otherwise would gave been truly world class.

I’m genuinely gutted by this, he was my hero from that team. Embodied selflessness, was a fantastic Wingers Centre, a skill much missing these days. RIP Stevo, it’s the Southstands turn to salute you. :cry:






It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.

Very good player in his time at Leeds and even better in his prime with the pies.

He was one of my favourite players from that era too. He wasn't the quickest but for creating space and getting his winger away there were few better. A real team player.
Condolences to his family. RIP

Norm: No, for stupid questions.

I travelled over to that WCC game v Manly with a couple of pals, and to this day it is still one of the most memorable games that I have ever witnessed as a neutral fan.
Central Park was rocking that night and David Stephenson's points earned Wigan a fantastic and much deserved win on the night
Whilst at Leeds he had 2 very good seasons and picked up a Yorkshire Cup winners medal to complete his full set

Another former player that has gone far too soon
RIP Dave

Very sad news. He was a fine centre and goalkicker and a key member of the 88 Yorkshire Cup win.

Started and ended his career at Salford. Our upcoming opponents, hopefully there is some tribute planned.

Quality player and the type of centre that has been pretty much lost in the modern game.

He was really good for us - good foil for Schoey, kicked goals and used Gibbo on the wing well, as well as a strong defender. My favourite memory is from the Yorkshire Cup final - he got his nose busted in a tackle, wiped the blood away and then calmly kicked the penalty. He joined us a bit late in his career, but at least he completed the full set of winners' medals with us.
