Scrapbook Clippings – a handful of Vale shots from the sixties

With thanks to David Brown, we have three photos of Port Vale in action in the late 1960s.

This first photo comes from the Port Vale 4-1 Brentford game which took place at Vale Park on the 21st October 1967. Vale’s goalscorers that day were Morris, Cullerton, Chapman and an own-goal and it was played in front of 5.944.

The second photo comes from the Port Vale 1-0 Swansea Town game which took place on the 28th December at Vale Park. It shows striker Roy Chapman scoring the winning goal. That game took place in front of a crowd of 5,431 and it was clearly a snowy day!

The third and final photo shows Port Vale in action against Halifax Town on Boxing Day 1967. It finished 2-1 to the Valiants with Chapman and Sproson on the mark. The crowd that day was 6,946.
