Ryan Stevenson

Ryan Cairns Stevenson (born 24 August 1984) is a Scottish football who is currently in his fourth separate spell with Ayr United.

Stevenson began his career as a youth player at Chelsea. Having left the London club in 2002 and moved to the then Scottish Premier League side St Johnstone. Having been dropped from the starting eleven in 2006, Stevenson joined First Division club Ayr United, on loan initially before moving permanently in 2007. Following a successful time at Somerset Park with Ayr, Stevenson signed for Premier League side Hearts in 2010. A successful first spell at Hearts led to Stevenson securing a move to English Championship side Ipswich Town. However, having made only 11 appearances for the club, he returned to Hearts the following season. After a second successful spell at the Edinburgh side, Stevenson signed for fellow Scottish Premiership side Partick Thistle. Stevenson is primarily a midfielder, but has also been used as a striker.

Personal life

Stevenson was born in Irvine, Ayrshire, and was a boyhood Ayr United fan. He was a pupil at Drongan Primary School and Kyle Academy in Ayr before leaving to join Chelsea's youth academy staying in the same apartment block as John Terry. In April 2013, Stevenson was banned from driving for a period of 20 months, following being arrested for drink driving. He later apologised for the incident, stating that "I accept the consequences of my actions. I acknowledge that I am a role model for younger supporters and team-mates and as such, my serious error of judgement was not befitting of such a position."

Storm

A storm is any disturbed state of an environment or astronomical body's atmosphere especially affecting its surface, and strongly implying severe weather. It may be marked by significant disruptions to normal conditions such as strong wind, hail, thunder and lightning (a thunderstorm), heavy precipitation (snowstorm, rainstorm), heavy freezing rain (ice storm), strong winds (tropical cyclone, windstorm), or wind transporting some substance through the atmosphere as in a dust storm, blizzard, sandstorm, etc.

Storms generally lead to negative impacts on lives and property such as storm surge, heavy rain or snow (causing flooding or road impassibility), lightning, wildfires, and vertical wind shear; however, systems with significant rainfall can alleviate drought in places they move through. Heavy snowfall can allow special recreational activities to take place which would not be possible otherwise, such as skiing and snowmobiling.

The English word comes from Proto-Germanic *sturmaz meaning "noise, tumult".
