Mark Vaughan

Mark Vaughan (born 7 May 1985 in Dublin) is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays for the Kilmacud Crokes division 10 junior B team and, formerly, for the Dublin county team. He broke into the senior Dublin squad in 2005, making his first senior championship start on 19 June against Wexford, and scored two late frees in the Leinster quarter-final against Meath to ensure Dublin's win. He attended Blackrock College, where he excelled at soccer and rugby, played under-17 soccer for Ireland, had a trial for the under-19 rugby team and guided the college to an All-Ireland Schools soccer title in 2003, before deciding to concentrate solely on Gaelic football. He later attended Griffith College Dublin and the Dublin Institute of Technology.
