Everton have a proud history of bringing their own young players through the academy.
It’s impressive enough getting them into the first team at such a young age but scoring shows they’re making a big impact too.
With all data via Everton Results, here are Everton’s five youngest goalscorers of all time…
James Vaughan
Goal: 10 April 2005/Age: 16 years, 270 days
Vaughan remains the youngest goalscorer in Everton history for his strike in a 4-0 win over Crystal Palace.
He netted on his Toffees debut during the reign of David Moyes.
Vaughan showed decent movement to get across the front post and prod into an empty net, sealing a dream maiden appearance in the famous blue shirt.

Wayne Rooney
Goal: 19 October 2002/Age: 16 years, 360 days
This was the goal which announced Rooney as a Premier League player.
Rooney smashed in a long-range screamer against Arsenal, who were then reigning champions with David Seaman in goal.
The goal won the game and marked the start of a long and successful career as Rooney went on to become England’s record goalscorer at international level.
Tommy Lawton
Goal: 13 February 1937/Age: 17 years, 130 days
The 7-2 away defeat to Wolves made it a game to forget for Everton.
But it was one to remember for Lawton, who was of course at this point Everton’s youngest goalscorer.
His record stood for over 65 years before Rooney broke it.
Alan Tyrer
Goal: 23 April 1960/Age: 17 years, 137 days
Tyrer netted the only goal in a 1-0 home win over Leeds in 1960 and marked his name down in the club’s history forever.
Bert Llewellyn
Goal: 22 August 1956/Age: 17 years, 199 days
Llewellyn’s strike came in a home defeat to Blackpool near the start of the 1956/57 season.
