Michael Stephenson, known in rugby circles as Stevo, considers rugby as both his career and his life. An Englishman, he is a former professional rugby league footballer, a position that he parlayed as one of the more well-known rugby commentators for Sky Sports whose opinions are valued by rugby fans, managers and players alike.
He previously played at club level for several teams including the Deswbury and Penrith, an Australian team. He also played in the representative rugby league for Great Britain where he won the Rugby League World Cup in 1972 and for the Yorkshire county team. He was also known to play as a specialist hooker for majority of his professional playing career.
He started his playing career with Dewsbury, his hometown club, in 1966. His career grew by leaps and bounds, thanks to his innate talent, hard work, and strong dedication, such that he won multiple cups for Great Britain. His greatest victory during his international rugby league career was as member of Great Britain’s 1972 World Cup win; he scored against Australia during the finals.
