One of the most important seasons in the club’s recent history as they won promotion under John Rudge, our special section includes coverage of the play-off final plus reports on the rest of the season.
Vale had drawn the first-leg 1-1 in a game somewhat overshadowed by a fire under the wooden away end.
But they clinched a place in the final with a 3-1 win thanks to another hat-trick by striker Darren Beckford.
