The 2005–06 season was Port Vale's 94th season of football in the English Football League, and second-successive season in League One. They finished in mid-table and exited the League Cup in the First Round and the Football League Trophy in the Second Round. In the FA Cup, Vale made it to the Fourth Round, where they were knocked out 3–1 by top-flight Aston Villa. Foyle's efforts to build a promotion-winning team were boosted when Vale gained striker Leon Constantine. Still, his efforts were hindered by the sales of both Sam Collins and Billy Paynter.
