Dave Johnson, Port Vale Football Club (Programme Editor)

800 questions on The Vale - what a test for even those people who think they know it all.
Ben Amos, Port Vale Football Club (Assistant Club Shop Manager)

How much do you know about this great club? This excellent book will help you to discover the answer to that question and many more...
Joe Anyon, Port Vale Football Club

A wonderful set of questions, perfect for any Vale fan. Have as much fun with this book as I did with Port Vale Football Club.
Mark Grew, Port Vale Football Club (1986-1992) and Current Youth Team Manager

This book has so much information in that teaches you a lot about the history of Port Vale Football Club - I am sure you will have a lot of fun with this.
John Poole, Port Vale Football Club (1956-1961)

I must state that it is a privilege to be asked to write the foreword to this official Port Vale Quiz book and it is a pleasure to accept.
I have been a Port Vale supporter since 1949/1950 when my Uncle Bill Amos took me down to The New Wembley of the north in a wheelbarrow from High Lane to help along with hundreds of other Vale supporters to level the black ash and shale that formed the base of the terracing at the new ground in Hamil Road.
Since then there have been many ups and downs, I remember the “Steel Curtain” in the days of Manager Freddie Steele in the 50’s,the days when Stan Matthews was Manager in the 60’s and we had great players like Colin Grainger, Billy Bingham, Albert Cheeseborough, when my particular hero was Bert Llewelyn,we had the youngest forward line in League history. The Holycom days of the John Rudge era when players like Dean Glover, Peter Swan and Steve Guppy etc graced Vale Park, there also have been many black days over the last 59 years but it is the good days you remember.
I would like to thank the supporters who have been and still are the lifeblood of the club and hope that this quiz book not only gives much enjoyment but also teaches our younger supporters the history of the club and what a great club Port Vale Football Club is to support.
This is the ultimate quiz book for all Vale fans, young and old, the serious "anorak" or just a bit of fun. It is a MUST buy!
Bill Bratt OBE, Port Vale Football Club (Chairman) - Written the Foreword
