Who is John Stevens?
John Stevens is a former Australian rules footballer who played with the Sydney Swans in the Australian Football League.
Stevens played some football for the Collingwood Under-19s but his initial AFL ambitions were thwarted by a knee injury and having to have heart surgery. He was later drafted by Sydney as a mature age recruit, from Old Ivanhoe Grammarians. When he made his league debut in the 1997 AFL season, Stevens was already 25.
A left footer, he was used mostly on the wing by Sydney and didn't miss a single game in 1998. Stevens, who played finals football in each of his first three seasons, put his name in the record books in 1999 when he took 19 marks against Melbourne at the MCG which was at the time the second most number of marks ever records in a VFL/AFL game.
