Mark Harrison player profile:
When Port Vale FC made John McGrath their manager in 1979, he returned to his former club Southampton to sign talented young goalkeeper Mark Harrison.
Harrison had come through the youth system at Southampton but was yet to make a senior appearance. However, he immediately became the first choice goalkeeper at Vale Park although his first season at the club was hit by injuries.
After being an ever-present for Vale during the 1981-82 season, he was transferred to near neighbours Stoke City alongside Mark Chamberlain for a combined fee of £180,000.
However, after a succession of injuries while at the Potters, he left the club in 1984 returning to his native South Africa. He later moved into coaching management in South Africa and won the Premier League in 2016. His son, Ryan is also a goalkeeper.
