Under the stewardship of manager John Rudge and chairman Bill Bell, Vale secured survival, finishing safely above the relegation zone in 17th with 58 points. Cup competition brought mixed fortunes: in the FA Cup, Vale recorded a resounding 6–0 win over Hartlepool United before suffering a shock exit to Scarborough in the Second Round. In the League Cup, they reached the Second Round, where they were knocked out by Manchester United. Martin Foyle enjoyed another standout year — bagging 16 league goals and 20 in all competitions, earning him the Player of the Year award. Vale also marked their return to the same division as Potteries derby rivals Stoke City, claiming bragging rights with a 1–1 draw at Vale Park and a 1–0 win at the Victoria Ground. Support from the terraces remained healthy: the highest home attendance was 19,510 for the derby against Stoke City, while the lowest was 4,728 against Bristol Rovers; the average home league attendance stood at 9,218. Their biggest win came in that 6–0 thrashing of Hartlepool, and their heaviest defeats were scorelines of 3–0 and 4–1. The season also saw the arrival of exciting new players Tony Naylor, Steve Guppy, and Ian Bogie, following the high‑profile sale of Ian Taylor before the campaign began. Vale steadied themselves in the First Division with resilience and goals from Foyle, marked by new signings and derby pride, setting a solid foundation in the second tier. Overview First Division The pre-season saw John Rudge spend a small amount of the money received on the sales of Ian Taylor and Peter Swan to bring Tony Naylor to the club from Crewe Alexandra for a £150,000 fee. A further £200,000 was splashed out on Nottingham Forest forward Lee Glover. Another £4,500 was spent on Dutch goalkeeper Arjan van Heusden from VV Noordwijk. Arriving on free transfers were Craig Lawton (Manchester United) and Stewart Talbot (Moor Green). The season started modestly, with two wins in the four August games. In September, only Lee Glover, Tony Naylor and Martin Foyle could find the net, but the Vale won six points from their five games. To help with his recovery from a serious injury, Ray Walker spent some time on loan at Cambridge United, and won back his first-team place in the Vale starting eleven upon his return. Meanwhile, Tony Kelly arrived at the club from Bolton Wanderers, but after a brief spell, moved on to Millwall. On 17 September, Vale inflicted a 2–1 defeat on league leaders Middlesbrough player-manager Bryan Robson – his first loss in management.Baggaley Mike Port Vale ticket and injury update ahead of historic Middlesbrough game https://portvalethevaliant.substack.com/p/port-vale-ticket-and-injury-update 19 December 2023 Valiant's Substack 18 December 2023 Vale's attack was highlighted in October. However, the defence ensured three draws from five games. In November, Darren Hughes was allowed to leave the club for Northampton Town.

Two days later, on 26 November, Guppy made his debut in a 2–1 win over Millwall, where he collected assists for both goals.Baggaley Mike Staying top despite late drama https://portvalethevaliant.substack.com/p/staying-top-despite-late-drama 26 November 2024 Valiant's Substack 26 November 2024 However, their draw with Swindon Town would prove to be the only point gained in December, as Vale were stuck in a relegation dogfight. John Jeffers spent January on loan at Shrewsbury Town. During this spell, defender Kevin Scott arrived on loan from Tottenham Hotspur. The team gelled, forming a five-game unbeaten run based on just two goals conceded to shoot up the table. In March, midfielder Ian Bogie was signed from Leyton Orient for a £50,000 fee. Potteries derby day finally came on 14 March, and 19,510 turned up at Vale Park to witness a 1–1 draw with Stoke City, Naylor scoring Vale's goal. Five defeats in seven games followed, raising concerns about the drop. However, the Vale were unbeaten in their final five games to ensure safety. This included a 3–3 draw at Elm Park that saw the "Valiants" come from three goals down to claim a point. It also included a 1–0 win over Stoke at the Victoria Ground on 22 April, Foyle scoring the goal in what was Vale's first away win over Stoke in a league fixture since 1927.Liam Bullock 2023 978-1-80150-393-8 El Ceramico: The Story of the Potteries Derby Pitch They finished in 17th place with 58 points, leaving them ten points clear of relegated Swindon Town. They were five points short of Stoke, who finished six places above the Vale. Player of the Year Martin Foyle bagged twenty goals, double that of his nearest rival, Tony Naylor. At the end of the season Ollie Heald, Peter Billing, Mark Burke and John Burndred were released, who signed with Scarborough, Hartlepool United, Fortuna Sittard and Stafford Rangers respectively. Joe Allon was also sold to Brentford for £42,500. Finances The club's shirt sponsors were Tunstall Assurance. Cup competitions As members of the second tier, Vale should have qualified for the third round of the FA Cup, but were forced to take part in the first round to make up the numbers after Aldershot went bust and Maidstone United resigned from the league.Baggaley Mike Port Vale archives: Martin Foyle crushes Hartlepool in FA Cup http://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/port-vale-archives-when-martin-foyle-and-joe-allon-crushed-hartlepool-in-fa-cup/story-29881241-detail/story.html 12 November 2016 Stoke Sentinel 12 November 2016 13 November 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20161113113927/http://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/port-vale-archives-when-martin-foyle-and-joe-allon-crushed-hartlepool-in-fa-cup/story-29881241-detail/story.html dead Vale went on to easily beat Third Division side Hartlepool United 6–0 in Burslem, with Martin Foyle bagging a hat-trick.
