Kevin Stevens (born 17 May 1953) is an Australian former rugby league footballer of the 1970s and 1980s. Stevens was a utility player who filled a number of positions across the field such as five-eighth and lock but also played second-row. Stevens made his first grade debut for Easts in 1974 and was a member of the 1975 premiership winning side where Easts thrashed St George 38-0. Stevens latter career was threatened by a series of knee injuries and Stevens was playing as a prop in reserve grade in 1980 when Jack Gibson's decision to bring him to Parramatta drew much criticism. After missing the semi-finals with an elbow injury, Stevens repaid the faith shown in him and was a member of Parramatta's maiden grand final victory over Newtown in 1981.[2][3]
