Ran out of names from the clip! Remember those times quite well and as I now lives only 12 miles from Torquay, it would be great to see Vale playing here next year. 

Away trips planned next year are.... Bristol Rovers, Exeter, Forest Green ( if not promoted) maybe Swindon.

Looking forward to watching our new side and live football.

I knew that Torquay game was featured on TV, but have never seen it before - fantastic!

Wasn't it shown as part of that night's Match Of The Day? (I was too young to stay up that late back then, and it was before we had a video recorder......even a Betamax top-loader!)

(absolutely loved that season's home shirt. Reckon the club shop should bring out a retro cover version, same as they did for the yellow-and-green away top from the same season.)

That way the TV rights were shared out in 82/83 was ITV had the Saturday night highlights (most regions had a their own show) while MOTD was on Sunday afternoons.

No PMT on the shirts either because you weren't allowed sponsors logos on TV matches back then.

I loved that top too.

Memory might play tricks here i'm sure Scunthorpe had same design in their colours as i seem to recall Ian Botham in that kit.

An all time great Vale kit that was.

It was. On the whole tape there's the rest of an episode of MOTD before that comes on. Thanks to @Reggie Ches who posted the tape to me!

I loved that kit too - first Vale shirt I owned. I've a photo of me playing five-a-side in it somewhere.
