Earl Mark Sean Stein (born 29 January 1966), more commonly known as Mark Stein, is an English former footballer.
As a child, born in South Africa, he and his family immigrated to England. He was a striker from 1984 to 2004, including for Chelsea and the Football League, as a player, as well as in Oxford United's, Stoke City, Ipswich Town, and Bournemouth, before retiring in Non-league with Dagenham & Redbridge and Waltham Forest.
Personal life
He is Brian Stein, the younger brother of former Luton Town striker Brian Stein; another brother, Ed Stein, played for Barnet. The Stein brothers were born in South Africa and arrived in the United Kingdom in 1968 when their father, Isaiah Stein, a member of the African National Congress and former boxer, fled the country to escape police persecution and torture for his political causes. Isaiah continued his activism in the United Kingdom after being a member of the South African Non-Racial Olympic Committee. In the Gordon Banks Charity Match at the Britannia Stadium on July 12, he played for the England XI.
Playing career
In the 1970s, Stein was born in Cape Town and moved with his family to London. Both his brothers, Brian and Edwin plus Mark, and Mark Woods decided to play football, with Mark joining Luton Town in 1983. He began working in January 1984 and gained three caps with the England under-19 team, but he was unable to maintain the high aspirations aspirated of him at Kenilworth Road and had a brief loan stint at Aldershot. Luton won their first – and only to date – major trophy in 1987–88 as they beat Arsenal 3–2 in the Football League Cup final, with Stein returning as a substitute in the final.
He made his way to Queens Park Rangers in 1988, scoring seven goals in 42 appearances. After falling out of favour at Loftus Road in 1989, he joined Oxford United in September 1989. After two seasons with Oxford, Stein found himself out of the team and playing in the reserves. He came on loan from Stoke City in September 1991 and appeared in five games without scoring. However, he impressed boss Lou Macari so much that he compelled the board to pay £100,000 for his services. Stein was on a fine run, scoring 22 goals in 1991–92 and assisting Stoke in the play-offs where they lost to Stockport County in the 1992 Football League Trophy Final, with Stein scoring the game's only goal. In 1992-93, Stoke defeated the Second Division champion, with Stein "The Golden One" rising to top-score, with Stein netting 33 goals in 57 games. In 1993–94 Stein made the headlines after scoring twice in the League Cup against Manchester United. After Macari transferred to Celtic Stein, he left the Victoria Ground for Premier League Chelsea, costing the Victoria Ground more.
Stein set a Premier League record by scoring in seven straight matches from December 1993 to February 1994, despite his time at Chelsea. Before 2002, when Ruud van Nistelrooy took over it, the record stood. Stein also played in the 1994 FA Cup Final, scoring 25 goals in 63 games for the West London club, but he had to drop out early in the 1996-97 season due to the introduction of new strikers Mark Hughes, Gianluca Vialli, and Gianfranco Zola. He returned to Stoke on a short-term loan, scoring four goals in 11 games from 1996–97, the club's last season at the Victoria Ground. He left Chelsea after a loan spell in 1998 and joined AFC Bournemouth.
His time at Dagenham & Redbridge, 2001 to 2003, was notable for the club's refusal to prosecute charges of racial profiling, directed by Daggers manager Garry Hill against Fitzroy Simpson. "My Dad, a social activist who struggled against apartheid discrimination in South Africa all his life," Mark cited his father's work as a South African anti-apartheid protester. Why do I have to deal with it here? Stein spent his time with Waltham Forest, an Isthmian League North club, in the 2003–04 season, scoring three goals in seven appearances.
