Career
Stephenson, recruited to Street Kilda from Sale, was a Victorian representative in 1960, against both South Australia and Western Australia. A ruckman and centre half-forward in his early years at Street Kilda, Stephenson was used later on as a full-forward, in which position he started the 1962 VFL season strongly. Five first half goals against Essendon in round four had brought Stephenson"s season tally to 20, before he sustained a knee injury later in the game which curtailed his career.
