1999–2000 Port Vale F.C. season
Encyclopedia
The 1999–2000 season was Port Vale
's eighty-eighth season of football in the Football League
, and sixth successive season in the First Division
. Vale suffered relegation in 23rd place, some thirteen points adrift of safety. They also exited the FA Cup
at the Third Round, and were knocked out of the League Cup
at the First Round by fourth tier Chester City
for the second consecutive season. The club spent nothing on transfers, but sold young players for some £1.5 million – despite this the club was heading towards bankruptcy. The club continued to gain one generation of players at the expense of the successful '90s generation; Martin Foyle

sign Jeff Minton
(Brighton & Hove Albion
), Tommy Widdrington
(Grimsby Town
), and Steve Rimmer
(Manchester City
) on free transfers. He also took Andy Oakes
in on loan from Derby County
and Matt Glennon
from Bolton Wanderers
as back-up goalkeepers, and striker Martin Aldridge
on loan from Blackpool
.
The season started with a goalless draw at Ewood Park
with Blackburn Rovers
, but soon went downhill with two defeats. Vale then entered inconsistent form, winning three and losing three in a run of six games. However just two points from seven October games indicated Vale's future. Also in the month, striker Marcus Bent
, signed by John Rudge
nine months earlier for £375,000, was released from his contract. Bent would later be snapped up by Sheffield United
, and be sold on for £2 million. The club set a record on 5 September, when just 3,737 turned up to see a 3–0 win over Grimsby Town
– a division record low for a television match. The Vale ended the year in solid form, unbeaten in seven games, despite just two victories (over rivals Crewe Alexandra
and against Sheffield United
at Bramall Lane
). In December, Carl Griffiths
was sold back to former club Leyton Orient
for £100,000.
In January, Horton signed defender Sagi Burton
(Sheffield United
) on a free transfer, and signed Martin Bullock
and Gareth Taylor
on one month loans from Barnsley
and Manchester City
respectively. Controversially, he also sold promising young defender Anthony Gardner
to Tottenham Hotspur
for £1 million. The next month David Healy
would arrive on loan from Manchester United
for the remainder of the season. Also, former international
Ville Viljanen
became the first Fin to play for the club, when he joined from Västra Frölunda IF
. In March, Horton made two key signings, bringing two young players that would be with the club for several years to come: Irish midfielder Michael Cummins
(Middlesbrough
) and goalkeeper Mark Goodlad
(Nottingham Forest
). He also sold Tony Butler
to West Bromwich Albion
for £140,000. During this transfer activity Vale won just once in a sequence of seventeen games. A 2–0 win over Portsmouth
on 1 April raised hopes of Vale escaping the drop, but Horton's side gained just three points in their final eight games, thus dooming Vale to third tier football.
They finished in 23rd place with 36 points, a massive thirteen points away from the safety of West Bromwich Albion
, and only ahead of Swindon Town
on goals scored. With just seven victories, they had the fewest wins in the division. Tony Rougier
only needed nine goals in all competitions to become the club's top-scorer. The relegation meant that Brian Horton lost his 'proud record' of never being relegated as a player or as a manager.
At the end of the season numerous players were allowed to leave on free transfers: eight-year club veteran goalkeeper Paul Musselwhite
(Hull City
); five-year club favourite Ian Bogie
(Kidderminster Harriers
); Wayne Corden
(Mansfield Town
); Stewart Talbot
(Rotherham United
); Mark Snijders
(AFC '34); Kevin Pilkington
(Aberystwyth Town
); and Steve Rimmer (Marine
). Legendary striker Martin Foyle
also retired, after nine years as Vale's star striker. Simon Barker
also retired, at the age of 35. Meanwhile the club's board increased to five members: Bill Bell (chairman), Andrew Bellfield, Paul Wright, Neil Hughes, and Charles Machin.
, Vale lost 2–0 to Premier League outfit Leeds United
at Elland Road
, to exit the competition at the Third Round. Just 11,912 turned up for the game, after the Vale board refused to allow a price reduction.
In the League Cup
, for the second successive season Third Division
Chester City
knocked the Vale out at the First Round. In the 2–1 defeat at the Deva Stadium both sides finished the game with ten men, and as the return leg was a 4–4 draw, Chester achieved a 6–5 aggregate win.
