Brian Miller had signed him from Mansfield for £35,000 and it was Brian who brought him back to Turf Moor in the aftermath of the Orient game in 1987. But Steve was not the same player during a further two years with us. He netted just six goals in his first season and in his second, and last with Burnley, failed to make a single start in the side. This was after his first time with the club had yielded just about a goal every two games.
He'd started his professional career with Bolton and between his two spells with the Clarets won the golden boot following a prolific season at Rochdale. He returned to Rochdale after leaving the Clarets for the second time and it was there he ended his playing career.
