Steve Ovens

02/05/1978

Super Stevie was a firm favourite with the Tivvy faithful thanks to his constant tormenting of defences. A lightning-quick attacker with a cat-like sense of balance signed from Witney Town, Ovens' place in the club’s history will forever be secured after he scored Tiverton’s first goal in Southern League football, against Stafford Rangers in 1999.
