With
Port Vale the next visitors to Grenoble Road this Saturday, we turn
our attention to a well-known veteran of both clubs: Martin Foyle.
Foyle is a legendary figure at Port Vale (he is their post-war record
goalscorer and later went on to manage the club), but he also made
over 150 appearances and scored 44 goals for Oxford before he was sold to Port Vale. More
recently he was manager of York City on that fateful day at Wembley
last May, at the same time creating an unusual space for himself in
the history books of Oxford United.
