No owners... Five players under contract...In administration... Not even a kit to play in...

Is it any wonder that Port Vale FC were written off as 18th favourites for promotion at the start of the 2012-2013 season?

But by the end of a memorable campaign, the club had been promoted, finished as the division's top scorers and a life-long Vale fan was the club's top goalscorer.

How on earth did that happen?

Rob Fielding, editor of the award-winning Port Vale website onevalefan.co.uk chronicles one of the most extraordinary seasons in the long history of Port Vale FC.
