Port Vale enjoyed a winning start to the new season with a 2-1 win against Bournemouth at Vale Park. The scorers on that day were ex Sheffield United forward Adrian Littlejohn and … . In their midweek tie in the Carling Cup, Vale were unfortunate to loose to first division Nottingham Forest after grinding out a 0-0 in extra time. However, Brian Horton’s side were kicked out by Forest in a pulsating penalty shootout that ended 3-2 to Forest.
