Greens on Screen started its life in 1999 before many of the football sites that we are familiar with today, including Plymouth Argyle's own official site. Greens on Screen is dedicated to the sights, sounds and history of Plymouth Argyle Football club. It is owned and run by the Plymouth Argyle Heritage Archive, a charity dedicated to the promotion, preservation, and display of the heritage of our great football club.

The site owes its existence to Steve Dean. Without Steve's dedication and commitment for over 25 years, GoS would not exist and be the valued and loved resource for all football fans that it is today. The site is truly the envy of many clubs, and we owe a huge debt to Steve for his tireless work, and continued support behind the scenes.

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 - sights 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 was taken over by its new custodians, The Argyle Archive, in 2024.

Greens on Screen is an amateur website and proud of it. It is run by a team of volunteers from the Plymouth Argyle Heritage Archive (Argyle Archive). Without the hard work and much-valued contributions of these volunteers, running the site would not be possible. Greens on Screen is self-taught and as a result, a little bit quirky.

Greens on Screen remains advertisement free, which means we are grateful for the generous support of our donors and the work of our volunteers to help keep it free of promotions. If you would like to support the work of Greens on Screen, please consider donating to the Plymouth Argyle Heritage Archive.

GoS's sole aim is to be a service to fellow supporters, and we look forward to continuing to celebrate Argyle'ss history for many years to come.

ON THIS DAY

2002: The new Lyndhurst was opened, completing phase 1 of Home Park's transformation (Argyle 4 Oxford Utd 2). All three stands were up and running, but finishing touches continued for many weeks to come.

1990: Argyle lost 3-0 to Tottenham Hotspur in a testimonial game for Geoff Crudgington, who had hung up his gloves two years earlier after nine years with the club. Playing with a plaster cast on his arm, Paul Gascoigne's on-field antics brought some welcome relief for the fans - it was a gloomy period for the club; manager Ken Brown was dismissed a week later.

2007: After more than 100 years at Home Park, Plymouth Argyle Football Club became the new owners of the land and estate; the transfer of absolute freehold title was complete. At the time it was said to be the start of an exciting new era for the club, although some were worried by the risk. Looking back, many consider it to mark the beginning of a four-year decline to near oblivion. Five years later Home Park returned to Council ownership, who remained the owners until the club took up an option to repurchase the stadium in October 2016.

BORN THIS DAY

1979: Terry Sweeney (17 games, 2 goals from 1998 to 1999)

2000: Luke Jephcott (118 games, 37 goals from 2018 to 2022)
