About General Stevenson:
“As a left back Stevenson for his size – he is only 5ft. 7in., and about 11st. – is really clever. He is all heart. The bigger the opponents and better he likes him, and it was his fearlessness, his sturdy tackling, and powerful kicking that drew the Millwall people to him. The East End club took the young man from Padiham a couple of seasons ago, and today there is no more popular man at the Isle of Dogs. A right down good servant, a man who takes an intense interest in his work, he is just the type of player after the heart of the shrewd ‘Dockers.'”
