Tags: Soccer Club Season.
The 1982–83 season was Port Vale’s seventy-first season of football in the Football League and their fifth successive season (eleventh overall) in the Fourth Division. John McGrath led the Vale to a club-record 88 points (equalled in 1993–94) which saw them win promotion in third place. This was some achievement considering McGrath had sold both the Chamberlain brothers and goalkeeper Mark Harrison to rivals Stoke City at the start of the season.
