I found this Gaurdian artical from 1999 http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/1999/feb/06/match.sport , it is about Rudgies flat cap march. I find the whole thing heart breaking, but this bit gets me the most

 

"I would like to think I can walk out with my head held high," said Rudge. "Don't forget we're above our rivals from across the road. When I came, Stoke were in the First Division and Vale were in the Fourth. People didn't want to be associated with the club."

 

Tributes have been pouring in from fans and former foes alike. Alex Ferguson invited him to training at Manchester United for a day; Trevor Francis has asked him to become Birmingham's chief scout. "I'm going to have a few weeks off and see if there's anything in life beyond Port Vale," Rudge said.

 

Rudgie took us to the second tier, where we once belonged. Now we are back in the basement. Is this like a punishment. Or is worse than vale have ever had yet to come,
