WHAT ROBBIE WILLIAMS SAID

Born in Stoke-on-Trent, the 49-year-old singer is known to be a lifelong fan of The Vale. Upon receiving the honour of becoming the president of the club, Williams told <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-68117286" target="_blank">BBC</a>, "My life is bizarre and wonderful and has taken many turns and twists and to find myself from the Railway Paddock to be 'El Presidente' is pretty special. It feels as though I need to be doing more in and around this place. I just think with Carol and family turning up to Port Vale - if it hadn't been for them none of this would be happening."
