It wasn't long before Dewsbury, then the biggest ragby league side in the world (yes, even bigger than the Batley Bulldogs) offered him a job. Stephenson couldn't turn down the opportunity to play for his hometown club. He scored 15.7 tries in 8 games for Dewsbury in his first season, despite the nasty bout of Trenchfoot that hampered his game. This disease was possibly contracted from his companion, Sir.

Mr Dewsbury would not be kept down, as he continued to play for 15 seasons, each time facing allegations of referee abuse or, as Stephenson would say, 'Fisting the merry-whistle-blower'.

None of the allegations were true. Stephenson hung up his horse and his boots in 1983 when he finally realised that he was no longer super-quick and his mind had gone cockahoot. Stephenson came back on the ragby league scene in 1998, becoming globally known as Mr. Super League. He hosted the sport every Friday and Saturday on Sky alongside Eddie Hemmings. Stephenson became a key figure in ragby leagues battles against poverty, mainly in St. Helens, but let's face it....Saints is a shit hole. Stephenson has been seen scouting Hollywoods, Beverly Hills alongside Shania Twain and Joan Rivers, fueling speculation that he could be the star of new US sitcom 'The Dewsbury Hillbillies'. The former star has also just released a new clothing range called Superb, and many of Wakefield's local slags can be seen sporting the 'gear' to Belle Vue at weekends.
