    Interestingly, and again according to wiki...

    Port Vale is one of the few English league clubs not to be named after a city or town. The name Port Vale exists on maps pre–dating the formation of the club, which probably occurred in 1879, and is a reference to a valley of ports on the Trent and Mersey Canal, associated with the city's pottery industry.

    If anyone was being harsh, this could be deemed a duff question. Luckily we are all mates around here....

    No, but I believe they were one of the original entrants of the first FA Cup competition in the 1870s, good try...

    Having looked up Maidenhead on Wiki I thought Cologne was right! I was also interested to see that both Elvijs Putni&#326;&#353; and Richard Pacquette were there.

    That's the one Grinners. The ground was opened in 1804 and was used for the world's first ever inter-club match on Boxing Day 1860, Hallam FC v Sheffield FC...
