With flying wide players key to Chelsea's Championship success in 2004/5, Shaun had originally been bought 2005 as reinforcements in the winger department - but it was as a right-sided player in a midfield diamond that he rediscovered the form that had first marked him down as one of the most exciting young talents in English soccer.

Back on song, in the second half of the 2006/7 season he weighed in with some important assists and goals, among them two high quality strikes at Upton Park.

The youngster showed versatility at Man City; attacking on either flank, playing as a striker and even as wing-back.

Arriving at Chelsea a twisting, turning bag of tricks with a thunderous shot, Shaun was soon declared by his new team-mates to be the fastest sprinter at the club.

He made his Chelsea Premiership debut off the bench against Wigan in August and has established himself as a regular choice for one of the wing places.
