The Vale team contained Darren Beckford and Robbie Earle. I thought we got tonked 3-0 but the records show that Whittingham scored twice for us.
The only other recollection is that the pub we drank in prior to the game turned out to be the one that Robbie Williams' mother owned/managed - apparently!
Mention of Robbie Earle, I can recall how gutted he was when awarded the MBE for his work in the community................... he always wanted to become Robbie Earlobe!!
