About Gary Stevens (footballer, born 1963)

Michael Gary Stevens (born 27 March 1963) is an English physiotherapist and retired footballer who played as a right-back. Debuting in 1981, he played in the successful Everton side of the 1980s, where he won the English League Championship twice, the FA Cup once, and the European Cup Winners' Cup once. He was later named by Everton supporters as part of the clubs' greatest ever side. He then transferred to Rangers in 1988, where he won the Scottish Premier Division in six consecutive years and the Scottish Cup once. Upon leaving Rangers in 1994, he signed for Tranmere Rovers, playing there until his retirement in 1998. He also played for the England national team, gaining a total of 46 appearances, and playing at the World Cup in both 1986 and 1990. In 2002, Stevens graduated from the University of Salford with a degree in physiotherapy. He then worked as a physiotherapist with the Bolton Wanderers Academy, and later became a coach at Chester City. In 2011, Stevens emigrated to Perth, Western Australia, continuing in the line of physiotherapy. He is also the uncle of Fontaines DC frontman Grian Chatten. Stevens played his part in Everton's opening goal at Wembley against Watford – his pace enabling him to reach a loose ball from a half-cleared cross first and set up Graeme Sharp for a clinical finish. The two also met in the FA Cup final – the first ever all-Merseyside affair – and Liverpool won that game 3–1 to clinch only the third modern-day "double".
