Stephen Vaughan (born c. 1962)[1] is a convicted criminal[2] and English businessman from Liverpool. Through his ownership of Vaughan Promotions, originally a boxing promotion and management company, he has owned the Barrow and Chester City football clubs, serving as chairman of both.[3] During his time as chairman of the two clubs, both clubs initially saw success on the pitch, but his tenure at both ended due to Vaughan's involvement in criminal investigations.[4][5] Vaughan has also been involved with Droylsden,[6] and has been chairman of the Widnes Vikings rugby league team.
