Career
Steve began his career at Burnley where he played over 100 games and scored 28 goals. “The Tank” moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1972, where his bustling style made him a crowd favourite. He scored 31 goals in over 150 league and cup appearances for Wolves.
Regular goalkeeper Andy Rankin was injured and Steve took his place, only to be injured himself, his place in turn being taken by Mark Lillis.
Each of them conceded a goal, and this remains an English record for the number of keepers used in one game. Injury then ended his career in 1982.
Steve was an England Youth, Under-23 and “B” international. He is now an after-dinner speaker.
