Bill Stephenson (14 February 1937 – 10 August 2010) was a former Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
Stephenson, recruited to St Kilda from Sale, was a Victorian representative in 1960, against both South Australia and Western Australia.[2] A ruckman and centre half-forward in his early years at St Kilda, Stephenson was used later on as a full-forward, in which position he started the 1962 VFL season strongly.[2] Five first half goals against Essendon in round four had brought Stephenson's season tally to 20, before he sustained a knee injury later in the game which curtailed his career.[2]
