Joshua Randles (June 1865 – 17 October 1925) was an English footballer who was a one club man for Burslem Port Vale between 1885 and 1899.

Career[edit]

Randles probably joined Burslem Port Vale in the autumn of 1885.[1] His first known game was at left-half in a 6–0 triumph over Cheshire side Crewe Alexandra in a friendly on 26 October 1885.[1] He enjoyed regular football from September 1888 to February 1889 but played only occasional football thereafter.[1] He played two Second Division games in the 1892–93 season, the club's first season in the English Football League.[1] He did not feature in the 1893–94 campaign, and only played twice in the 1894–95 season.[1] He did, though, play seven games in the 1895–96 season, claiming two goals against both Newton Heath and Newcastle United.[1] Over his 14 years at the Athletic Ground he had played in nine different positions for the club in 75 games, scoring 14 goals. Upon retiring as a player, Randles became Vale's assistant trainer and later the reserve team trainer.[1]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
