Flashback: Vale score 11 in three days!
It’s a quiet news day today, so what could be better than to sit back and watch Vale deal up two consecutive comprehensive victories.
Port Vale started their 1988-1989 promotion season in style with consecutive victories in early September – firstly, a 6-1 win over Cardiff with superb Earle and Walker goals plus one from Ron Futcher that (in OVF’s opinion) is one of Vale Park’s best-ever goals.
And for good measure, Vale followed it up three days later with a 5-0 win over Chesterfield (thanks to a Darren Beckford hat-trick)
