He started his football career playing for Liverpool Schoolboys. During his time there he scored 72 goals in one season, a record he held until May 2010.

At nine he scored 99 goals for Copplehouse boys’ club in the local Walton and Kirkdale junior league before Everton scout Bob Pendleton saw him.

For Everton’s under-10s and 11s, he scored 114 goals in 29 games in the 1995-96 season.

He continued to perform remarkably and even became a member of Everton’s first team squad for their training camp in Austria.

In August 2004 he transferred on request, despite Everton’s new contract valued at £50,000 per week. Everton accepted Manchester United’s bid at the end of the month after a £25.6 million deal broke.
