Port Vale are an English association football club who currently play in Football League One. They are based in Burslem, Staffordshire -one of the six towns that make up the city of Stoke-on-Trent. Stoke City and Crewe Alexandra are their local rivals.
Although it is widely believed that Port Vale is one of the few teams not to be named after a geographical location, the name Port Vale exists on maps predating the formation of the club in 1876, and is a reference to a valley of ports on the Trent and Mersey canal, associated with the city's pottery industry.
Port Vale's last manager was Martin Foyle, who left the club by mutual consent on the 26th of September 2007; Martin Foyle was formerly the manager of the youth team – as well as being an important player for the club in the past. Dean Glover was named the club's interim caretaker manager, another notable former player, before Lee Sinnott was appointed on November 5 2007.
