A campaign to fund a statue of Port Vale’s longest serving player has been running for eleven years and should draw to a close on the 17th November when the statue is formally unveiled.
A statement from the Supporters Club said: “Port Vale Supporters’ Club is delighted to announce that today the Roy Sproson statue was finally erected at Vale Park ahead of the planned official unveiling ceremony next month.
“There is still plenty of work to do before then and the statue has now been covered over again.
