With just 10 crucial fixtures remaining in our season, hear from Defensive Midfielder Luke Joyce ahead of tomorrow's trip to Cheltenham.

He described Port Vale as being a club he's known for as long as he can remember and being the manager of the Vale means 'a great deal' to him. John Askey is closing in on his first year as Port Vale manager having helped keep the club in the football league in his first few months towards the end of last season. Sat 10th in the league now and with a trip to Manchester City on the horizon, we sat down with the gaffer to look back on his first year in charge of the Valiants as we enter into the new year.
