Hello and welcome to our Sunday edition of The Valiant for June 23.

Our main feature this morning is with James Plant, the academy graduate whose emergence into the first team has been one of the real plusses of the last 18 months at Vale Park.

James talks about coming through the system at the Vale, the pride he and his family feel when he pulls on the shirt and overcoming set backs to compete for that first-team spot.

We’re also looking at the signing of Jayden Stockley and have more news, opinion, analysis and nostalgia.
