Born in Leeds in 1948, Harvey attended Foxwood School (in the Seacroft area of the city), and played for Leeds City Boys before leaving school to work in a Stylo shoe factory.
He was signed as a professional football player by Don Revie in February 1965, after having played as an apprentice for two years. Harvey replaced Sprake for the replay, which Leeds lost 2-1. Leeds put together a 29-match unbeaten start to the 1973-1974 season, winning the League championship and earning Harvey the title medal he was not entitled to five seasons earlier.
Stewart did little wrong, but Leeds were beaten 2–0 by Bayern Munich in Paris.
The rest of the 1970s saw Revie"s team age and retire, with Stewart being preferred under subsequent Leeds managers, and Harvey eventually left in 1980 to join
He had an unsteady first season with Vancouver, and even though his form improved in the second season in the NASL, injuries from another car accident prevented him from regaining his form and place. He returned to Leeds in 1983, by which time the club had been relegated to the old Second Division.
By the time he left in 1985, he had played under three of his old team-mates: Allan Clarke, Eddie Gray and Billy Bremner. Harvey played 6 league games for Bradford City in 1985, under the management of an ex-Leeds team mate, Trevor Cherry.
He then played 3 league games for Morton in 1986, finally drifting into non-league football with Whitby Town and Harrogate Town before his retirement from the game.
He was selected as Scotland"s first-choice keeper for the 1974 World Cup in West Germany, although Scotland went out in the group stage. He retired from football at the age of 37 years, managing a public house at Stamford Bridge, near York, and then became a postman, saying, "The sorting office atmosphere was like a dressing room". On 24 December 2009, he suffered a heart attack, from which he recovered.
