Anthony Steenson began his playing career with Salford Amateurs in the late 1960's signing for Mossley under Don Wilson in November 1972.
Wilson resigned within a week of Steenson's arrival and he didn't immediately settle under replacement George Sievwright and returned to Salford but re-signed for Mossley in August 1973.
He spent the next two seasons as an almost ever present at the heart of the Mossley defence but left in September 1975 to join Hyde United having made 133 appearances and scoring 4 goals.
Steenson returned to Mossley as assistant manager to Brian Grundy in August 1984 and following Grundy's dismissal at the end of October 1984 Steenson was appointed manager with ex Irlam Town and later Curzon Ashton manager Peter Mayo appointed as his assistant.
Steenson's stay in charge was brief. When he made himself unavailable to attend a home League Cup match against Goole Town that Mossley lost on 17th December 1984 he was ingloriously dismissed along with his assistant Peter Mayo two days later.
Steenson's later involvement in football consisted of arranging celebrity matches.
