Stephen John Bicknell (born 28 November 1959) is an English former professional footballer who played in the Football League for Leicester City and Torquay United. [1]

Bicknell was born in Stockton, Warwickshire and began his career as an apprentice winger with Leicester City, turning professional in December 1976. After a bright start to his Leicester career he failed to make the league side the following season, and in August 1978 joined Torquay United on a free transfer. His Gulls career never took off, and after only three league appearances (all as a substitute) he left for VS Rugby and later played for Southam United.
