Robert Stevenson was a Scottish footballer who played as a inside left for Morton, St Mirren, Clydebank and Arthurlie.[2][3] He left Morton the year before the Greenock club won the Scottish Cup in 1922, but was a regular member of their team in the period around World War I when they finished in the top four of the Scottish Football League table for six seasons running (Stevenson missed one of these campaigns entirely, likely as a result of wartime commitments).[2] He did take part in both of the Navy and Army War Fund Shield finals, the first of which in 1915 Morton won by defeating Rangers[4] and the second in 1918 which they lost to Celtic.[5] After he moved to Renfrewshire derby rivals St Mirren, Stevenson quickly struck up a fruitful partnership with fellow new signing Dunky Walker, who finished as the top scorer across European club football in their first season together.[6]
