Steve’s earliest footballing memories date back to the early 1970s watching football in the places he grew up in, mainly Bolton and Zambia. A move to Sheffield at age 11 introduced him to Sheffield Wednesday and he has been obsessed ever since. An official England Band member for over 20 years Steve had many opportunities around the world to tell people about Sheffield’s footballing history. More recently Steve has been an official guide at Sheffield Cathedral as well as producing a series of videos about Sheffield’s football history.

Professionally, Steve has worked as a senior leader in education and was founder, director and business manager of a local health and social care provider, providing support for adults with autism, learning difficulties and complex needs. He is currently a self employed property manager, trustee of Share Psychotherapy, treasurer of a local choir and actively supports many other local charities.
