The Stoke-on-Trent born pop star has supported the Vale since he was a boy and has now decided the time is right to make a financial commitment to the club. "Although I can't be at the Vale often, my investment is just to say that my heart is still there and I'm a huge supporter," Williams said. Three years ago, Williams turned down the opportunity to invest in the club when Port Vale were in financial trouble.
"I've been a Port Vale fan all my life. When I was younger I was in the Railway Paddock and I used to dream about sitting in the chairman's box." Williams added. The future now looks bright for Port Vale with the mega-rich ex-Take That star on the board.
The investment is believed to be a purchase of around £260,000 worth of remaining shares. These shares were attracting the attention of former Walsall Chairman Mike Llyod.
