A friend of mine who just happens to be a vale fan has posted that Vale are the only team to have beaten all 91 league clubs,  I find this incredible if true so c'mon guys get delving into those archives. |

They have it’s only possible because of their age and due to their lower league status now playing any new clubs coming into the league.

They completed the feat last season (April 2021) but, as has been said elsewhere, there are some teams higher up the league who haven't been given the chance to play (and beat) what were previously non-league clubs or newly formed clubs (e.g. Salford, MK Dons, Forest Green Rovers)
So if you wanted to mock, you could highlight they're celebrating wins in the lower leagues 😂

Im assuming that someone else had beaten everyone too last season and that changed when Sutton got promoted. |

Think it’s more we lost a club they had beat and until they beat Sutton it was all clubs had not beaten the other 91 |

A friend of mine who just happens to be a vale fan has posted that Vale are the only team to have beaten all 91 league clubs, I find this incredible if true so c'mon guys get delving into those archives. Ask your friend how many of those victories have been in the First Division/Premier League. |

Off topic but just looking at the current football league clubs who we've never played a league match against (according to our head-to-head list on Soccerbase):
League One - AFC Wimbledon, Burton Albion, Cheltenham Town, Fleetwood Town, MK Dons, Morecambe
League Two - Crawley Town, Forest Green, Harrogate, Newport County, Salford, Stevenage, Sutton United
We've played Accrington and Barrow but only in the Division Three North days (if we're counting the old structure before everything merged in the late 50s)

I'm sure there's been a monumental collapse somewhere along the way and thus they have beaten themselves, too. |

We played Wimbledon in Div 2 in the 80's However if AFC Wimbledon are deemed a separate club, rather than a successor club then we haven't played them Personally I'd say AFC Wimbledon are Wimbledon MK Dons are just another club |

I think when they were at that National Hockey Stadium? MK Dons originally claimed the old Wimbledon name, but AFC Wimbledon now claim the history. These days MK Dons seem happy to wash their hands of it all and give their start date as 2004. A big mess all around but if anyone deserves to be seen as the original it's certainly AFC Wimbledon - even if it's technically a new club according to some sources. |

Joining Stoke who are not going to return to the Prem anytime soon. I'd bet. They haven't made it to League 1 yet so I wouldn't look too far ahead. Plus,as for being in the doldrums,the Vale would swap with us in a heartbeat. |
