Infos

Port Vale Football Club – the name gives no clue to its whereabouts, but this book will tell you all of the highs, lows and downright strange happenings at a club that has been in existence in the Potteries for over 150 years.

- Port Vale became the first club to defeat all of the other 91 teams in league games in the main four divisions as of 2021 and have kept up the record in every season since then.

- Vale fan and player Tom Pope was the leading scorer in Britain in 2012/13 with 33 goals, none of them being penalties.

- Cardiff City once offered a blank cheque for winger Colin Askey, and the club turned it down!

- Vale Park once held over 49,000 fans for an FA Cup tie v Aston Villa.

From an FA Cup semi-final to expulsion from the league, and from four Wembley appearances to a ten-goal home defeat when the goalkeeper lost his glasses in the mud, it's all here. Recounting the record wins, defeats and attendances, the highs of classic giant-killings and the lows of going into administration, The Port Vale Miscellany is a book on the Valiants like no other, packed with facts, stats, trivia, stories and legends.
