Malcolm Keith Stephens (17 February 1930 – 6 February 2005) was an English professional footballer who played as an inside forward in the Football League for Brighton & Hove Albion, Rotherham United and Doncaster Rovers.[1]
Life and career
Stephens was born in 1930 in Doncaster, which was then in the West Riding of Yorkshire.[1] Described as a "stocky little inside forward", he joined Brighton & Hove Albion straight from his Royal Navy service, and scored at a rate of a goal every other game. However, in competition with Albert Mundy and Denis Foreman, he was unable to establish himself as a first-team regular, and moved on to Rotherham United and then Doncaster Rovers.[2][1] He died in Plymouth, Devon, in 2005 at the age of 74.[1]
