Strongly built (192 cm, 96 kg) and versatile, Stephen McCann played in every key position as well as the ruck in a 226-game, 201-goal VFL career with North Melbourne between 1977 and 1988. In his first season he was a reserve in the Kangaroos' premiership team against Collingwood, while the following year he was at centre half forward in the Grand Final loss to Hawthorn. Despite hailing from Geraldton in Western Australia, he represented Victoria's state of origin side four times, earning All Australian selection in 1983.
