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's history for many years to come.

KENNY BROWN

Born: 11 July 1967

Came from: Norwich City Went to: West Ham United

First game: 17 September 1988 Last game: 11 May 1991

Appearances: 144 (144/0) Goals: 4

Brown was brought to Argyle by his father, manager Ken Brown, after serving as an apprentice with Norwich City. He established himself as the first choice right-back in 1988–89 and caused many a defence problems with his pace before moving to West Ham in 1991.

He scored five league goals for the Hammers but the winner against Manchester United in April 1992 was especially sweet for Leeds United fans as it basically handed the title on a plate to the Peacocks and severely dented United’s hopes.

After falling out of favour at Upton Park he had loan spells with Huddersfield Town, Reading, Southend United, Crystal Palace and Birmingham City before joining the latter permanently. Just six months later he was sold to Millwall where he had a successful 18-month stay. After a short time with Gillingham, he moved into non-league football with Kingstonian and went on to play for Portadown, Barry Town, Tilbury and, finally, FC Torrevieja in Spain.

In 2000 he started his coaching career at Barry Town, then after three seasons in Wales moved to Spain where he was a coach, manager & director of Football at CD Javea, a Spanish regional league side.

After nearly six years in sunny Spain, he returned to the UK and had spells with Grays Athletic, Tooting & Mitcham, Barnet and Chelmsford City. Following the departure of Dean Holdsworth as Chelmsford boss in November 2013, Brown took charge as caretaker manager. A UEFA 'A' Licence coach, he was appointed Dagenham & Redbridge under-16 manager in January 2014 before becoming the League Two club's academy manager.
