The attacker has so much precocity that he has already been a prodigy for quite a long time. By appearing as a substitute against Crystal Palace in April 2005 Vaughan became the youngest player ever to represent Everton and a few minutes later he had also made himself the youngest scorer in the history of both the club and of the Premiership itself. Vaughan is a man in a hurry who has been slowed down purely by injuries.
He came off the bench to hit the clincher against West Ham earlier this month, but last season was virtually a write-off because of the knee problems that required surgery in Colorado. Vaughan had no sooner returned from that than he was heading a 90th-minute winner for England against Switzerland at under-19 level. That was typical of him. Graeme Sharp, the formidable Everton scorer of the 1980s, was brought in to provide specialist coaching when Vaughan was a kid in the Goodison academy. "He has a fantastic desire to listen, to learn and to work," he says. "Vaughan will never give the opposition any peace. He's got good pace, but I wouldn't compare him with, say, the young Michael Owen. He's more the type who will get a toe to the ball before the defender can." With another Everton youngster, Victor Anichebe, also vying for selection, Vaughan has much to do but his determination will not falter. Kevin McCarra
