Bulldogs By the Numbers

[Nuggety Back Pocket]

Harvey Stevens joined us from Collingwood in 1953 and promptly won our B&F. He wore #32. He was a solid ruckman not averse to kicking a goal. He played in Collingwood's 1952 GF team and our 1954 Premiership. He captained us in 1957. His father Arthur " Chidda " Stevens played for us.

Stevens started his career in 1948 at Collingwood before being released by the club during the summer.

His career:

1948–1952 Collingwood 54 games 56 goals
1953–1957 Footscray 72 games 71goals
Total 126 games 127 goals.

Stevens died on 14 December 2016, aged 86. I bet he enjoyed Oct 1, 2016. Valè Harvey.

Harvey and the fellow surviving members from our ‘54 Flag were all given special invites by the AFL to attend our 2016 Flag win.
