British · Berwick-upon-Tweed, England · Born 21 September 1963English footballer and attacking midfielder who played for Everton and Rangers, earning 36 England caps and winning multiple league titles in the 1980s.
Trevor McGregor Steven was born on 21 September 1963 in Berwick-upon-Tweed, England, and began his career with Burnley, making his debut in 1981 and scoring regularly over his first two seasons before Everton signed him in 1983. He developed into one of the finest right-sided midfielders in English football, renowned for his crossing ability, work rate, and knack for scoring important goals from wide positions. Steven was a key figure in Everton's most successful period, helping the club win the First Division title twice, the FA Cup in 1984, and the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1985 — a period regarded as one of the finest in the club's history. His consistent performances established him as a regular for the England national team throughout the mid-to-late 1980s. Steven moved to Scotland's Rangers in 1989, where he spent two productive seasons before a brief spell at French club Marseille, followed by a return to Rangers in 1992 for a further five seasons, adding numerous Scottish league titles and cups to his collection during the club's dominant period under manager Walter Smith. Steven earned 36 caps for England, representing his country across a period that included near-misses at major tournament qualification, and remains fondly remembered by both Everton and Rangers supporters as one of the most reliable and technically accomplished wide players of his generation.
