He’s still only 21 so it’s early days in the career of the English-born, and now Dublin-based, Irish footballer Harry Vaughan, but he’s already managed to win the attention of some impressive names.

Vaughan has done enough to be picked to play first-team football by an Irish cult hero (John Sheridan), a Premier League icon (Harry Kewell), and the current manager of Chelsea (Liam Rosenior).
