Playing career
Born in Glasgow, Mallan did not play for any club in his teens, and started his career in Scottish Junior football with Kirkintilloch Rob Roy, aged 20, before joining the senior ranks with Clyde for the start of the 1989-90 season.
Mallan then joined Dumfries club Queen of the South at the start of the 1993-94 season. In his time at Queens, Mallan scored 94 goals and is 7th in the Palmerston Park club's all-time goalscoring charts (between Tommy Bryce on 95 goals and Tommy McCall on 93, having been in 6th place until Derek Lyle surpassed his total during the 2015-16 season). This tally includes 82 league goals in his 232 league appearances. Mallan played in the 1997–98 Challenge Cup Final at Fir Park, when Queens put in a spirited performance in a 1-0 defeat to Falkirk, who were playing in the division above. Nicknamed 'Marvo', Mallan played for seven seasons at Queen of the South before being released by John Connolly in the summer of 2000.
He went on to play for Arbroath, Stirling Albion (where he scored against Hearts in a Scottish League Cup tie), Stenhousemuir and Dumbarton.
Mallan then returned to junior football where he joined Glenafton as a player-coach, and after one season moved to near-neighbours Auchinleck Talbot. In his first year playing for the latter, at the age of 39 he scored in the 2006 Scottish Junior Cup Final with a 30-yard header after the opposing Bathgate Thistle goalkeeper slipped trying to collect it. He also appeared from the bench and set up the winning goal in the 2009 final, and at the end of a six-year spell with Bot he again came on as a substitute in the 2011 final at the age of 44. He then played with Glasgow team St Anthony's for a short time.
Mallan also spent time as a coach with St Mirren's Youth Academy.
Personal life
Stevie is the third of four generations of Mallan men to play football to a high standard. His grandfather Jim or Jimmy, a defender, played for Celtic and St Mirren, being selected for the Scottish Football League XI with the former and playing in the 1956 Scottish League Cup Final with the latter. His father, also Jimmy, played Junior football as a striker, scoring a hat-trick for Johnstone Burgh in the 1964 Scottish Junior Cup final. His son of the same name, born in 1996, made his debut as a midfielder for St Mirren in November 2014 and played 100 games for the club before moving to England.
