Phil Sproson Biography

Phil Sproson is one of the most popular and richest Football Player who was born on October 13, 1959 in Stoke-on-Trent, England, United Kingdom.

Sproson was spotted by Port Vale coach Reg Berks after Berks visited Thistley Hough High School to see the team play. After asking for the youngster’s address, he paid him a visit later in the day to get him on a contract, at which point he discovered the youngster was the nephew of Vale’s manager, Roy Sproson. Berks asked the uncle why he had not told him he had a young family member who could play football, to which he responded “I didn’t know I’d got one!”. In the Vale youth team, Sproson was a midfielder, though as he grew into a tall young man he was converted into a centre-half role. Sproson was only initially a semi-pro at Vale as his father wished him to have a trade. He rejected an apprenticeship at Stoke City and instead became an apprentice electrician until new manager Bobby Smith offered him forms with Port Vale in December 1977.

He featured in two Third Division games towards the end of the 1977–78 season. With the “Valiants” relegated into the Fourth Division, Sproson found first team chances easier to come by at Vale Park as he played 25 games in the 1978–79 season under the stewardship of Dennis Butler. He scored his first senior goal on 15 September 1979, in a 5–0 home win over Northampton Town. He established himself in the first team under new boss John McGrath, and played 40 games in the 1979–80 season. He went on to feature 50 times in the 1980–81 campaign, and missed just three games all season. He scored five goals in 51 games in the 1981–82 season, after missing just four league matches. The 1982–83 season proved highly successful for Sproson; he was a regular in the first team, claiming four goals in 45 games, and was included in the PFA select Fourth Division side as Vale were promoted in third place. Stoke City manager Richie Barker had tried to sign Sproson earlier in the season, but was put off by Vale’s high asking price, so instead signed Paul Dyson.
