Port Vale Football Club is an English association football club based in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. They are the only club in the football league not to be named after a place, though they originally took the name Burslem Port Vale. They play at Vale Park. They have played in the Football League since 1919, after the Football Association forcibly disbanded Leeds City. Vale themselves were expelled from the League in 1968 (for financial irregularities) and forced to seek re-election, which they achieved.
They currently play in Football League One. Their current manager is Martin Foyle – the previous manager of the Port Vale youth team – as well as being an important player for the club in the past. Dean Glover was brought into the club as assistant manager to Martin Foyle.
Stoke is home to two league football clubs, the other being Stoke City whose ground is five miles away. Throughout much of their history they have been regarded as the second team in the city in support, wealth and achievement. However, during the 1990s Port Vale could rightly claim to have overtaken their city rivals as they spent three seasons in a higher division and the other seasons in the same division.
