Management Career
Stephenson went on to become Huddersfield's longest-serving manager from 27 May 1929 until 8 June 1942 overseeing club records:
- The record 10–1 victory over Blackpool F.C. in December 1930 at Leeds Road.
- The record attendance at Leeds Road 67,037 attended in the FA Cup Quarter Final versus a Herbert Chapman led Arsenal.
But his League and Cup exploits were fraught with irony leading Huddersfield to second place in 1933–34 losing to Arsenal by 3 points in the season Herbert Chapman died and two FA Cup Finals and losing both: the first to a Herbert Chapman led Arsenal and the other to Preston North End in an exact reversal of the 1922 final, and the semi-final to Portsmouth the following year. Huddersfield have never reached the FA Cup Semi final since 1939.
