Favourite ever

[kevin]

got to be the legend that was tommy mclaren a true legend

[Angel of Burslem]

Robbie Earle and Ian Taylor.

[Big Bob Hazel]

Bob Hazel, steve fox, john Jeffers and jimmy greenhoff all bring back happy memories for me.

Interesting one my lads been following vale since he was 6 he's thirteen now and his favourite is Doddsy because he's been with us for ages and never kicks off when he ain't in the 1st team and always puts in a good show.

[Birches Head Fred]

Ernie Moss for me.

[bogie12secs]

Tommy Mac

[bertiepee]

Brian horton

[Heatwave]

Bob Newton, closely followed by Bernie Wright.

[nodge]

Ray Walker, special mention to Allen Tankard who no one for me has bettered in that position since.

[RayWalkers40yarder]

loved the old guard, robbie earle was class, as was beckford, even nicky cross was as crafty as hell, but for me its martin foyle closely followed by peter swan, tin foyle was THE one striker we had with pace in buckets and was that quick he could get behind defences without batting an eyelid. wish we had some strikers with pace ........ and a brain

[jeff1966]

Tank class

[davidatpreston]

Glad to see a couple of people pick TOMMY McLaren, an easy choice for me.

 

Honourable mentions to -

 

John Green a superb and classy player

John Nicholson perhaps Vale's most consistent player, sadly taken from us at a young age like Tommy

Ken Hancock our best keeper in my time watching (1962 onwards)

Tony Sealy twice on loan to us and a truly exciting little player

Tony Naylor great moments in the golden 90s

Mark Chamberlain a greyhound in a football kit, the only player to leave a vapour trail

 

and many others.

[nodge]

David Lowe was a brilliant loanee (twice)

[Gypo]

Gotta be skully or naylor

[Valiant62]

Tough call between Aspo and Tommy Mac.... Special mentions for Galloping Gareth and Robbie Earle too.
