Robbie Williams comes from Stoke on Trent and as a young lad he used to watch the Vale regularly. Then one day he joined a boyband called Take That. They were a massive boy band all over Europe and I think the US. Robbie became famous because he would wear his Vale top on stage. Thousands of young girls from all over the UK also wore Vale tops as a result. One day, When I was in Majorca for a holiday, a family came to the hotel and their young daughter was wearing a Vale top, I said to her come on the Vale. Then I asked her dad what part of Stoke they came from and he answered Aberdeen. Then Robbie left Take That and millions of young teenage girls nearly committed suicide. Robbie then went solo but was having problems with drink and drugs, also his solo career wasn't too good, then when princess diana got herself killed it coincided with the release of his song 'Angels' That song made him and he hasn't looked back since. He is a multi millionaire and many Vale fans have expressed their opinions that Robbie should give money to the Vale to help them out in their hour of need. But for many months or years we heard nothing. Other Vale fans defended him by saying that it is his money and he can do with it as he pleases, he dosen't have to pour it into a footie club... ANyway it seems that now Robbie ( Bob to his mates) has finally stepped in and bought the remaining shares.
I prefer soca music to Robbies music but I am still glad he has finally put some of his money into his favourite club.
