Well. Off the field… how about Carter! Wonder if he still goes? Went my first away game at Crewe with him 1982.. an experience I won’t forget 😀

Saw Paul Carter on Hamil Road  on a match day a few years ago , still gave me a buzz when he acknowledged me like when he turned up at an away day , the good old days VTID

Do ya? Ernie died in 2013, I think it was, and I blame him for all my misadventures with the Vale!!😆 Yeah Mum worked at Precision for a good few years amongst other places. She was a silk screen printer by trade which accounted for her Popeye forearms and right hook!

Your mum and dad were gems, yewth, and your mum gentle as a lamb despite her right hook! Lovely man your dad, unfailingly optimistic and supported the Vale through thick and thin.

As for Selwyn Whalley, hard as nails. Remember once at the end of a reserve game some lads from Hanley High gave him a bit of good-natured stick and he told 'em he'd see them on the Monday. Bet they had a few sleepless nights at the prospect of 'Sandy' his sawn off cricket bat! Caught me talking once in assembly and made me get up on the stage in front of the whole school and do a dozen press-ups. Didna do it again 😀

Teacher at Hanley High School.

I can remember a game at the old Shrewsbury ground adjacent to the river. Vale winning as time ticked on and Selwyn wellying every ball that came anywhere near him as far as possible into the river.

The poor sod that used that coracle to go and fetch them must have been nackered.

And here's a photo of the hard man himself with the school team. Looks pleasant enough...until he got on the pitch 😀

Some on here might recognise the players but I connor remember a single one!
