The 1935–36 season was Port Vale's 30th season of football in the English Football League, and their sixth-successive season (29th overall) in the Second Division. Under manager Tom Holford (until his dismissal during the season), the Valiants endured a disastrous campaign, finishing 21st in the Second Division with just 32 points, and suffering relegation — their second in club history, ultimately ending a six-year stay in the second tier. A principal factor was defence: Vale conceded a league‑record 106 goals in 42 matches, marking the most goals ever allowed in a single season by the club. Away form was particularly poor, as the team picked up only five points on the road and endured a run of twelve defeats in sixteen games between September and January. Individual highlights included centre‑forward Jack Roberts, who scored 12 goals in 21 appearances and finished as both league and season top scorer for Vale. In the FA Cup, the club achieved a celebrated upset by defeating reigning First Division champions Sunderland, before ultimately exiting in the Fourth Round. Off the field, financial woes were severe. A public appeal raised emergency funds—supporters were asked to raise over £2,000 to keep the club afloat—while manager Holford was relieved of his duties amid the crisis. The season had been disastrous,a record number of goals were conceded and relegation after years of stability. But, tempered by a cup performance against top-flight opposition.
