Port Vale players celebrate after the match against Sunderland. Last week's fifth round didn't let us down either with struggling League One side Port Vale upsetting Sunderland from the Premier League. "Struggling" is in fact an understatement as Port Vale are rock bottom in their division, 11 points from safety and looking doomed for relegation. An intriguing point about Vale is that there is no place actually called Port Vale. The club is said to have been named after a meeting at a building called Port Vale House.
