Steve Finnieston (born 30 November 1954) is a Scottish retired footballer who played during the 1970s and 1980s, most notably for Chelsea. A striker, Finnieston first joined Chelsea as a 12-year-old. He signed professional forms in December 1971. He made his debut for the club in a 1–1 draw with Leicester City in 1975 and spent time on loan at Cardiff City during the same season. He didn't establish himself as a regular in the Chelsea first-team until 1976–77. That season was his most prolific, as he struck up an impressive partnership with Kenny Swain and scored 24 league goals, including a crucial winner against promotion rivals Nottingham Forest and a final day hat-trick created by a partnership with Tommy Langley, who also scored, against Hull City.
