Gary Steven Roberts is an English footballer who plays for Waggon & Horses as a deep-lying playmaker, he has been praised for his vision and ball distribution skills. However, off the field he has struggled to control drink and gambling problems.

The 2011–12 season was Port Vale's 100th season of football in the English Football League, and fourth-successive season in League Two. It marked the start of Micky Adams' second spell in charge of the club, and despite fan unrest with the board, Vale fans and players were hopeful of promotion come the end of the season. However, a ten-point deduction for entering administration doomed the club to a mid-table finish. They exited both the League Cup and Football League Trophy at the first round following defeats to League One clubs. They also crashed out of the FA Cup at the first round against non-League opposition.
