Port Vale F.C.
- ... that after Port Vale F.C. were liquidated in 1907, a local church team took on the name and returned to the Football League by October 1919? Source: "Burslem Port Vale were an at end... an enthusiastic Cobridge Church committee negotiated a takeover of the ground of the late club and with the permission of the Football Association, changed the name of their first team to Port Vale... admission to the Second Division completed a remarkable meteoric rise from the North Staffordshire Church League to the Football League in only twelve years!"

Improved to Good Article status by EchetusXe (talk). Self-nominated at 12:23, 10 July 2020 (UTC).
The article is neutral, meets the required length, and is sufficiently referenced. Article was promoted to GA within seven days of this nomination. QPQ is done. Hook is interesting and sourced; AGF on offline source, but the quote is above. Image was non-free and has been removed. Good to go! – Rhain ☔ 10:36, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
