George Robert "Bob" Stephenson (born 19 November 1942) was an English footballer and cricketer who played first-class cricket for Derbyshire and Hampshire between 1967 and 1980. He also played football as an inside forward in the 1960s, notably with Rochdale.
Stephenson was born in Derby. He was a right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper, who played first-class cricket between 1967 and 1980.[1]
Stephenson transferred to Hampshire for the 1969 season. Hampshire played steadily during 1969, finishing the season in fifth place, though the team found the following season hard-going and ended 1970 with just four victories under their belt. Stephenson continued to serve Hampshire through the inconsistent times of the mid-70s, the highlight being the team's second-ever victory in the County Championship in 1973. Stephenson remained a first-team choice through the late 1970s, and into the 1980 season, but he retired from first-class cricket after Hampshire's bottom-placed finish in that season's County Championship. Stephenson's sole first-class century came for Hampshire against Somerset in 1976. During his last two years as a Hampshire player, 1979 and 1980, Stephenson was club captain.
Stephenson was also a professional footballer, playing for Derby County, Shrewsbury Town and Rochdale in the 1960s.[2]
