Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The 1924–25 season was Port Vale's sixth consecutive season of football (19th overall) in the English Football League.[1] A highly successful season, for the first time in their history they finished above rivals Stoke. Vale's eighth-place finish in the second tier was their best finish since 1893–94. Throughout the 20th century, this finish would be bettered only in 1930–31 (they would finish third in the Second Division in 1992–93, however, by then the Second Division was actually the third tier in the Football League behind the Premier League).
