Question: What was the 89th completed Football League season and the 1987–88 Port Vale F.C. season? 
Context: The 1987–88 season was Port Vale's 76th season of football in the Football League, and second successive (17th overall) season in the Third Division.  John Rudge's side started the season well, but then suffered following the sale of star striker Andy Jones.  Just as Rudge seemed to be struggling, the Vale earned a memorable 2–1 victory over top-flight Tottenham Hotspur at Vale Park in the FA Cup Fourth Round.  They exited the competition at the next stage at the hands of Watford, following a replay.  Vale's league form also improved, as they finished in eleventh place, helped by midfielders Ray Walker and Robbie Earle, defenders Phil Sproson and Bob Hazell, and goalkeeper Mark Grew.  Darren Beckford and David Riley were joint-top-scorers with ten goals each.  Vale exited the League Cup and the League Trophy at the First Round.
