3 comments so far (post your own)Eric Stevenson, aka "Stevie", was a long serving left-winger of the 1960s whose trickery made many goals for colleagues.
Apparently he could not bear to look every time Joe Davis took penalties. (edited by moderator)

Eric was totally unselfish winger who if he had in the west coast would have had many scotland caps.
