Ian Armstrong player profile:
Ian Armstrong was a pacey Port Vale forward with an eye for a spectacular goal, who was signed on a free transfer from Liverpool in 2001. Armstrong had not made a senior appearance at Anfield but he rapidly became a first-team pick at Port Vale. He scored his first senior goal in October 2001 – during Port Vale’s 5-0 win over Cambridge United.
Despite being regarded as one of the club’s most gifted players, his four year spell at Vale Park was racked with injuries as he made just 100 appearance as he picked up a succession of injuries. His most prolific season was 2002-2003 when he netted eight times in thirty four appearances.
He was released in 2005 and after an unsuccessful trial with Macclesfield Town, he sadly later retired as a player. He was just 23 years of age when he was forced to quit.
