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]
