[edit] Career
After winning a first team contract with Port Vale, Anyon spent time on loan at Harrogate Town.[2] He returned after breaking his jaw in April 2006.[3]
He made his first-team debut for the Vale in December 2006, after first-choice goalkeeper Mark Goodlad ruptured his right achilles tendon against Bristol City in December 2006 and had to have reconstructive surgery. He then went on to play the rest of the 2006–07 season with only 25 goals scored against him. Goodlad was forced to retire due to his injury and Anyon has since established himself as the first choice keeper.[4]
Following a 3-1 home defeat to Macclesfield Town in the FA Cup on 28 November 2008, Anyon blasted his teammates, labelling their performance as "a disgrace".[5] He fractured his tibia (broke his leg) after clashing with Drew Talbot in a 2-1 defeat at Chesterfield on 28 March 2009, bringing a premature end to his season.[6] Despite this, his performances that season earned him the 2009 Player of the Year Award, as well as the award for the best player away from home.[7] The season began with a disagreement with then-manager Lee Sinnott,[8] but Anyon was #1 under Glover and conceded sixty goals in his 39 appearances, giving Vale one of the better defensive records in the lower half of the League Two table.[9] In May 2009 he signed a new one year contract with the Vale.[10]
