Brief History

Port Vale Football Club are one of the few English league clubs not to be named after a city or town. The name Port Vale exists on maps pre-dating the 1876 formation of the club, and is a reference to a valley of ports on the Trent and Mersey Canal , associated with the city's pottery industry. The two symbols on the clubs badge are a bottle kiln and the Stafford knot .Possibly the club's most successful times have been in the 50s, where they were FA Cup semi-finalists in 1954 and won numerous league titles.
