Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The 1991–92 season was Port Vale's 80th season of football in the English Football League, and third-successive (35th overall) season in the Second Division. For only the third time in their history they competed in a division above rivals Stoke City. However, it was not a happy campaign, John Rudge was forced to deal with star players Darren Beckford and Robbie Earle being sold for combined fees of £1.7 million. He spent just £375,000 to bring future-legend Martin Foyle to the club, whilst reliable goalkeeper Mark Grew was handed the club's Player of the Year award. Vale were relegated in bottom place, just five points short of safety. They exited the League Cup at the Third Round, despite a credible 2–2 draw with Liverpool at Anfield. Leaving the FA Cup at the Third Round, they were knocked out at the Second Round stage of the Full Members Cup.
