Central Port Vale

Williams, a lifelong fan of the League One side, was said to be considering a Wrexham-style takeover at Vale Park.

A 62-year-old man from Stoke-on-Trent has been charged with going onto the playing area at a football match and using threatening behaviour.

Port Vale spooked Mansfield on Halloween night and progressed through to the last eight of the League Cup for the first time in their history.
