Greens on Screen’s first page was published in January 1999. Its early purpose was to bring Plymouth Argyle a little closer to those unable to see their team, and whilst it has changed a great deal over the years, its core themes - sites and sounds for Westcountry exiles - still stand. The site was very lucky to take on the content of Trevor Scallan’s Semper Viridis in the summer of 2007, and in 2009 launched GoS-DB, a wealth of facts and figures from PAFC’s history. A year later we embarked on a complete history of Argyle, with much-valued contributions from chapter authors.

Greens on Screen is an amateur website and proud of it. It is run by one person as a hobby, although there have been aspects of the site over the years that would be much the poorer without the hard work and much-valued contributions of a small band of volunteers.

Greens on Screen is self-taught and as a result, a little bit quirky. Amongst a few stubborn principles, advertisements will never appear (and don’t get me started on the plague of betting promotions on other sites). It began its life before many others, including the club’s official site, when there was a large gap to be filled, and although there is now a wide variety to choose from, GoS’s sole aim, to be a service to fellow supporters, still seems to have a place.

Plymouth Argyle, 1953-60

An extract from "Thanks for the Memory", by Steve Rhodes:

"Saturday 22 November 1958 in Plymouth had a distinct Welsh flavour.  In the morning, at the Plymouth Register Office, Argyle's Wales under 23 international centre-forward George Baker married his childhood sweetheart Moira Bromley. Rhymney born wing-half John 'Cardiff'' Williams was best man. In the final Welsh connection of the day, Wrexham made their first ever visit to Home Park. Jimmy Gauld and Harry Penk scored the goals in a 2-2 draw before the team hurried off to Dingles' Dartmoor Restaurant for the reception."

George and Moira celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary on Saturday 22 November, 2008, coincidentally another Welsh day at Home Park. This time Argyle entertained Cardiff City, the best man's former club.
