Unofficial Champions of England: Port Vale 1-2 Leeds United



Champions Port Vale where on a fine run of form. They had been Champions for six games and were on a run of 10 games unbeaten in all competitions, including the scalp of Premier League side Everton in the FA Cup.

The 5th round drew them against Leeds United. They had gotten a creditable 0-0 draw at Elland Road and hoped to finish the job at Vale Park.

Port Vale took the lead when Tony Naylor stuck a foot out to divert a low cross, catching the Leeds defence napping.

Leeds equalised when professional tubster and some time footballer Tomas Brolin crossed into the Vale box and always looked about 50 Gary McCallister headed the equaliser.
The winning goal came from a free-kick when McCallister delayed taking his free-kick but it was worth the wait, a sublime curling effort.

Leeds were Champions for the third time.
