But fans may still remember so great cup moments and you can register your vote Here

Lincoln

Vale travel to Lincoln tonight in the first game of an action packed December.
Geoff Horsefiled and Louis Dodds will be looking forward to a return to the club where they kick started their football careers.
While the Imps have former Vale midfielder Chris Herd who is enjoying another spell on loan from Aston Villa.

Midfielder Tommy Fraser serves the last game of his three match suspension. Defender Gareth Owen is out as he still recovers from a fractured cheekbone that has recquired surgery.

This will be the last game of Lewis Haldane's loan spell from Bristol Rovers but he may only have a few weeks to wait for a return to Vale Park should Mickey Adams choose to sign him when the transfer windown opens in January.

Huddersfield

The Valiants bowed out of the FA Cup at the weekend at home to Huddersfield. A single strike from Nathan Clarke in the 13th minute proved ulucky for the Valiants. However it could have been a different story if Vale striker Marc Richards had composed himself a little more in front of an open goal.

Vale evenly matched a Huddersfield side litterd with talent and a league above Micky Adams' side but it wasn't quite enough to put them in the hat for round three.

Richards was brought off with ironic cheers from the Vale crowd and player/coach Geoff Horsefield brought some experiene to the striking force.
