Who was Howard Vaughton?
Oliver Howard Vaughton was an English international footballer who played as an inside left.
He played as a forward for Aston Villa before the Football League was formed between 1880 and 1888. He was part of Villa's first FA Cup final victory in 1887. He played in 26 FA Cup matches, scoring 15 goals.
Vaughton played for England on five occasions, scoring six goals. Five of his goals were scored in a 13-0 victory over Ireland in Belfast on 18 February 1882, with his Villa team-mate Arthur Brown contributing four. Therefore Vaughton holds the record as the most goals scored by one player during an England international football match.
After his football career ended he ran a silversmith's firm and was charged with making a new FA Cup after the original disappeared in mysterious circumstances in 1895.
