Port Vale
Formed in 1876, Port Vale F.C. is a professional English football club based in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, known as "The Valiants". A gritty, community-focused club, they are unique for not being named after a specific town, but rather the local "valley of ports". They have a historic rivalry with Stoke City (the Potteries derby). Vale Park has been their home since 1950. They hold the record for most seasons (41+) in the second tier without reaching the top flight.
