Joined us in May 2007, and had a first season to forget - plagued by injuries and struggling with his form until the last handful of games, by which time we were certainties to go down. Top scorer during the last two seasons - he's "big Marc Richards Vale's number 9!"

News Stories for Marc Richards

Back In The Play-Offs... Wed 30th Mar 2011 08:46
Vale moved up to seventh last night after a hard fought 2-1 victory over Lincoln City. Super Doug Loft was the hero, hitting the winner on 70 minutes with a wonderful 25-yarder.

Gannon Got It All Wrong Mon 14th Mar 2011 11:20
Vale slumped to a Jim Gannon inspired 1-2 defeat at home to Oxford Utd on Saturday after a bewilderingly shambolic 2nd half performance which had the whole of Vale Park (including the players) wondering what was going on...

Dismantling Stevenage On Tuesday Night Sat 19th Feb 2011 19:44
Stevenage Borough. Precisely the kind of mid-table fodder that we should be ripping apart at Vale Park with considerable ease. Unfortunately for us Gary Roberts starts his three match ban on Tuesday night, surely Exodus Geohaghan won't be reprising his standing-around-doing-nowt-in-midfield role?

We're On Telly Friday Night! Tue 15th Feb 2011 12:17
Our Friday night clash with Bradford City will be shown live on SKY Sports, so let's hope to God that we don't serve up anything as painfully shocking as the first 70 minutes of Saturdays encounter with Northampton Town.

Why Is Exodus Geohaghon At Vale Park? Sun 13th Feb 2011 11:28
Just how woeful was Exodus during yesterdays 1-1 draw with Northampton Town? One of the most astonishingly bereft virtuoso displays in recent times at Vale Park. Up there with Neil Mackenzie and Caig Rocastle. He was utterly dreadful. "He's just like a fat Kevin Francis" was the remark made in the Bycars toilets at half-time...

Gaz Owen Out For A Month? Mon 07th Feb 2011 20:54
Defender Gareth Owen looks likely to spend at least a month out of action after suffering a fractured ankle during Saturdays 1-1 draw at Wycombe. Owen will find out tomorrow (Tuesday) exactly what's what when he meets a specialist.

Is A Bee Sting Ever Fatal? Sun 23rd Jan 2011 18:18
What surprises does Jim Gannon have up his sleeve for us on Tuesday evening for the visit of Barnet? Boomer partnering John McCombe at the back in the absence of Gareth Owen? A seven man midfield? Sean Rigg getting a game? Anything, it appears, is possible with Gannon at the helm...

The Jim Gannon Experiment Sun 23rd Jan 2011 10:56
Pugnacious, belligerent, aggressive, tactless, contentious, bewildering, perplexing, peevish, waspish and supercilious. Just what is Jim Gannon all about, and just where the hell is he taking us?

A Big, Big Game Today Sat 22nd Jan 2011 09:08
Vale face Cheltenham Town today in what is a massive game for us, and new Manager Jim Gannon. We desperately need a win to maintain our promotion challenge, and Gannon needs to win over the Fans after last weeks catastrophe at Gresty Road.

The 'Gannon Out' Campaign Begins! Sun 16th Jan 2011 09:56
Welcome to Port Vale Football Club Mr Gannon! An avalanche of criticism has descended over our new Manager after yesterdays disappointing 2-1 defeat at the hands of our loathsome rivals Crewe Alexandra. Internet message Boards have been filled with ill-concieved half-witted venom from overly hysterical pubescent schoolboys the length and breadth of Stoke-On-Trent.
