Port Vale chairman Bill Bratt has been awarded an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours list.

The 63-year-old has been at the helm at Vale Park for just over six years and has been rewarded for his efforts to save the club from going out of business.

Vice-chairman Dave Smith told The Sentinel: "This is appropriate recognition for the hard work Bill has put in and for the passion he has shown the club over the years.

"It is also a tribute to the tremendous community spirit at Vale Park."

Newly-installed manager Micky Adams added: "While the chairman chooses the manager, in my case I was also keen to look at the quality of the chairman.

"We have developed a good relationship in the short period I have known him. He's an honest and straightforward guy who wants to do well for the Vale."
