A squad of nineteen mainly local players set numerous club records. Managed by Freddie Steele, the team became known as the Iron Curtain (or Steele Curtain) due to its formidable defence which contained Vale legends Roy Sproson, Tommy Cheadle and goalkeeper Ray King. The side coasted to the Third Division North title and also reached the semi-final of the FA Cup where they were unfortunate to lose narrowly to West Bromwich Albion. Over the course of the season, the side set seven club records and three Football League records – including fewest League goals conceded in a season and eleven consecutive clean sheets. The side were unbeaten at home during the whole season. - [Links](https://www.onevalefan.co.uk/category/about/links/) - Links to other websites that we like - [Nearly Men](https://www.onevalefan.co.uk/category/historyandmemorabilia/nearlymen/) - The ones that got away – players that so nearly signed for the Valiants. - [All News](https://www.onevalefan.co.uk/category/all-news/) - Port Vale Headlines Port Vale news from the onevalefan website, an independent website established in 1996.
