Stephenson joined the club in 1995 from Essex, captaining them for two seasons, and in all played some 212 First-class and Limited-Overs matches for Hampshire.

His First-Team appearances were limited during his benefit year, but he played a pivotol roll in captaining the Second XI to the 2nd XI Championship.

John who has returned to Essex in a coaching capacity, is retaining his residence in the county, was delighted with the support. "I have really enjoyed my years with Hampshire" said John, "and would like to thank all those who supported my benefit."
