LC Head2Head & Team news - Port Vale

Last updated : 22 August 2005 By Bigrich.....

The Staffordshire club who were fancied to struggle this season by many, have started the season well and currently lie 7th in the table, but travel to Millmoor after a 4-2 defeat at Bristol City. Vale will be without Robin Hulbert (foot) and Michael Walsh (stomach).

Doubt
Mick Harford has today told that he will play his strongest team possible for the game although Jamal Campbell-Ryce is a doubt after coming off during the 1-1 draw against Bradford with a dead leg. "Jamal went off with a dead leg, he's still sore but we'll assess him tomorrow. Paulo Vernazza's got sickness and diarrhea and I can't see him playing. But Will Hoskins is now fine so he will come back into the squad." Mick Harford told Radio Sheffield today.

Meanwhile the men in black will be making at least one story tomorrow night. Clive and son Michael Oliver will be the first father and son team to officiate in a competitive professional football match in Britain, according to the Football League website.

Dad Clive will be the match referee while his son Michael (20) will run the line, let's hope they both have good eyesight.....
