Keith Henry Stevens (born 21 June 1964) is an English former professional footballer who played as a defender, spending his entire career with Millwall.

Career

Stevens made his debut with

first top division season, and even after their relegation the following year he was able to bolster their defence and ensure that they were at least a match for most other second-tier teams. In 1994, he was ever-present in the league as they finished third, but lost out on a place in the Premier League due to a playoff defeat at the hands of Derby County
in the semi-finals. Millwall were relegated to Division Two in 1996, and although Stevens was no longer a regular first team player after this stage he continued as a player for another three seasons.

Stevens was appointed player-manager of Millwall in May 1998 on the dismissal of Billy Bonds, and named teammate Alan McLeary as his co-manager. They remained in charge until their controversial dismissal on 17 September 2000 after failing to get Millwall promoted back to Division One,[2] a feat which was achieved eight months later under successor Mark McGhee, with the team that Stevens and McLeary had built.

Despite no longer being with the club, in April 2001 Millwall awarded Stevens a testimonial,[3] culminating in a friendly with Tottenham Hotspur in August 2001.[4]

Stevens later managed non-league Fisher Athletic until resigning in July 2002.[5]
