John Vaughan (footballer)

John Vaughan (born 26 June 1964 in Isleworth) is an English former professional footballer who made nearly 400 league appearances in a varied career. He is currently the goalkeeping coach at Huddersfield Town.

A goalkeeper, Vaughan came up through the youth ranks at West Ham United although he didn't make a first team appearance at Upton Park. Whilst at West Ham he was sent out on loan to gain experience at Charlton Athletic, Bristol Rovers, Wrexham and Bristol City before Fulham paid £12,500 for his permanent services in the summer of 1986. Vaughan spent 2 seasons at Craven Cottage, making 44 league appearances. He was also in goal the night that Liverpool beat Fulham 10-0 in a Football League Cup game.

He was released from Fulham in 1988 and was signed by Cambridge United manager Chris Turner. Vaughan went onto enjoy success at United as, led by Turner's successor John Beck, they gained successive promotions from 1989-91 to take them to the old Second Division. They finished the 1991-92 season in the play-offs for the inaugral Premier League season but were beaten by Leicester City.

During the following season Vaughan fell out of favour once Beck had been sacked and subsequent United managers Ian Atkins and Gary Johnson preferred either Jon Sheffield or John Filan much of the time. At the end of the 1992/93 season Vaughan was released and joined Charlton Athletic where he made 6 appearances as back-up goalkeeper to Bob Bolder.

When John Beck had taken over as manager of Preston North End he took Vaughan with him and he made 66 appearances at Deepdale. Beck was sacked and took over at Lincoln City, taking Vaughan with him again where he played a further 65 games.

He wound down his league career with loan spells at Colchester United and Chesterfield before moving into coaching [A previous version of this profile listed Vaughan as playing non-league football in the Western League with the likes of Torrington and Barnstaple. This goalkeeper would seem to be a different John Vaughan with the appearances being made from 2004 onwards.] at clubs such as York City (appointed on a part-time basis in September 2003), Maccesfield Town and Grimsby Town. After doing some part-time coaching in the academy, Vaughan was appointed as goalkeeping coach at Huddersfield Town in August 2006. [cite web
