[DickDale]

Jimmy Greenhoff tells us about his time at Vale Park in the latest edition of the Vale Park Beano on sale tomorrow, still a quid. He tells for the first time about his 'iffy' relationship with John McGrath and the real reason why he left. (The clue's in the last sentence).

It's a bumper issue and includes all the regular features, Tales Of The Unexpected, Robbie Billions, Stokie Sid, Radio Ga Ga, Readers Wives, Cut It Out, plus details of the latest IPlod, Free Exclusive Limited Edition Shirts, Taking The Michael (Baggaley), President Obama Salutes The Vale, On The Net featuring you lot and as it's December there's the usual Port Vale Pull Out Calendar for next year.

Up the Vale!

[Birches Head Fred]

Scored the best goal I've seen at Vale Park, top, top player and both local clubs were very lucky to ever have such a talent play for them.

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

My dad always tells me he was a bit of a genius.

 

Talk Sport ran a competition last weekend to win tickets for Stoke v Man U and Micky Quinn was talking about the answer to the quiz question - the Victoria Ground. He was clearly talking about something he knew little or nowt about when he talked about players who graced the ground Mike Pejic and the GreenWOODS!!

[geosname]

He represented Vale at my mates funeral in 1984...

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

When Micky Quinn's not mistreating his horses he's usually talking absolute ***** on the radio. Complete and utter tool...........

 

And the size of a small house!

Must have been the volley from a corner , at the bycars end, if i remember right think it was against York.

Correct, always had this down as my favourite goal, dennis smith was player manager for york and his assistant was viv busby who I think also played, so they knew what greenhoff could do

I was standing behind the bycars end goal when it went in, probably the best goal Vale have scored in the last 40 years. i remember meeting Jimmy Greenhoff and he signed a football for me, he was a class act in every aspect. Scandalous he never got the full England caps that he deserved!

I was in the Bycars that day as well, just to the left of the goal about halfway back (as I will be today) : a great goal, and a reminder that volleying in directly from corners was happening before Paul Scholes was even born and the media-driven, over-the- top premiership was even thought about. For me only really rivalled by Neville Chamberlains overhead kick at Crewe or of course any goal against Stoke !!

[valiantman1967]

Chamberlains goal was part of a 5 goal win? Bernie Wright blatantly hand balled before one the goals.Chamberlains has always been my favourite .Oh for videos from the sixties and seventies.

Greenhofs goal against York was certainly one of the best Vale have scored, but May favourite has got to be Ray Wlkers bendy banana against Spurs

[Conrad]

Remember the last game of the season when the players used to come out after the game, into the directors stand, Greenhoff came out smoking a fag.

[JAMO-IN-MEXICO]

It was on boxing I think.
