Stevenage Football Club is an English association football club based in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, currently playing in League Two. The club was formed in 1976 following the demise of the town's former club, Stevenage Athletic. They joined the United Counties League in 1980 and progressed through the United Counties and Isthmian leagues over the next decade.[1] Stevenage won promotion into the Football Conference in 1994 and spent sixteen consecutive seasons in the highest tier of non-league football, before they were promoted to League Two in 2010.[2] In their first season in the Football League, Stevenage won promotion to League One, the third tier of English football,[3] before producing their highest league finish during the 2011–12 season.[4] The club were relegated back into League Two at the end of the 2013–14 season.[4] Below, is a list of players who have made 50 or more appearances for the club. In addition to this, the table also includes players who hold any records at the club.

Introduction

More than 160 players have appeared in at least 50 senior competitive matches for the club since its formation in 1976.[5] Defender Ronnie Henry holds the club record for most appearances with 502, accumulated over two spells.[6] He surpassed the previous record of 468, held by Mark Smith, in January 2018.[6][7] Smith had held the record for 17 years.[6] Martin Gittings holds the club record for total goals scored, 217.[6] He is also the only player to have scored over 100 goals for the club, with Steve Morison coming closest with 89 in all competitions.[6][8]

The list also includes those who have won the Stevenage Player of the Year. The Stevenage Player of the Year award is voted for annually by Stevenage's supporters in recognition of the best overall performance by an individual player throughout the football season.[9] Three players have won the award twice; Mark Smith in 1995 and 2001, Jason Goodliffe in 2002 and 2003 and most recently Mark Roberts, in 2009 and 2012.[9]
