If my memory serves me right ...
Old Trafford, Man United away, evening game, all white strip, Clinton penned into the right corner, casually lifted it over the United players back to our Keeper.
Doesn't sound much, but cool, real cool.
One of my favourites too, as he was my age and easy to think of as a kindred spirit.
Sad, sad news.

When was that game Dave? I recall Wigan at Man U but not Utd until years later?

Nice comments above.

I too began watching the Vale in the early sixties and have very happy memories of Boulton and his fellow full back Wilson. He was one of my early heroes. Liked to get forward and could score a goal or two.  Very fond memories of him. I was gutted when we sold him to Torquay, as I was a few years later when Horton was sold.

As you say, that all white kid was special.

Did well in midfield too. I think we got £10k for him which I suppose was decent money at the time. I recall being upset at his sale as he was a good player and Torquay hardly an attraction. 

Remember that well and thought exactly the same..Why on earth did we sell him?

Remember him well. Brilliant full back and one of our all-time greats. RIP Clinton, we have great memories of you.

Memory is a funny thing - I've always thought of him as a no. 4 - Rt wing half in front of the defence? But, in a similar way, I've always remembered Porter as a central midfield scrapper, not a winger? Time and memory, eh?
