Oh my God.
Port Vale Football Club is a professional association football club based in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, England. The team compete in League Two, the fourth [and lowest] tier of the English football league system. Port Vale is one of the few English league clubs not to be named after a geographical location, [Sounds like a good idea] their name being a reference to the valley of ports on the Trent and Mersey Canal. They have never played top-flight football, and hold the records for the most seasons in the English Football League (108) and in the second tier (41) without reaching the first tier.[6] [Something to be proud of]...Outside [Vale Park] is a statue to Roy Sproson, who played 842 competitive games for the club.
842? Let's say the Valey Girls played an average of 40 matches a season, that's over twenty fucking seasons! You sure that statue of Roy is not his embalmed corpse?
